Title: How fast can you drink a gallon of water?
Post by: cephissus on September 04, 2015, 12:39:59 AM
I'm thinking about doing some food competitions... apparently drinking a gallon of water (8 lbs) is a common benchmark.  I just tried, got 9 min.  Anybody else?

You do realize that if you drink too much water, your electrolytes go off balance and you can stop your heart?  A radio station had a promotion/contest where a young mother chugged water on air and died.

This. A gallon of water over 24 hrs for a bodybuilder is fine but a gallon in 9 minutes  :-X

Cephissus, worry about drinking less water and more concerned with eating a cheeseburger, so you dont look like a starved and emaciated.

You can definitely develop cerebral edema due to severe hyponatremia, but if the after-party that ensues (seizures, respiratory arrest and death) is your thing, go at it!

All of this time I thought Cephissus was a competitive bodybuilder or a huge mofo with the way he ate. I mean, who wouldn't be.

Then when I saw his pics. HOLY SHIT!!! Dude seriously looks like he is starving to death. Why go through all that cooking and dieting to look like you're starving?  ??? ???

Im not even ragging on him. He seriously looks unhealthy.

Try laying almost upside down, put a towel over face and drink through that.
