How fast can you drink a gallon of water?

[cephissus]

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.

and yet you still chug down a gallon of water.

People taking ecstacy have died drink a lot les water than that.

i weigh ~180 lbs
6 L = ~1.59 gallons
in the past, i have drunk this much over the course of 1-3 hours many, many times

don't think i'm too much at risk

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

To lighten up a little, this is worth 7 minutes.

Probably faster than a certain getbigger takes to get the lid off.

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

THE GUY IS FUCKED, HE WONT LISTEN TO ANYONE HERE, ITS LIKELY THE WATER THING IS JUST TO STOP HIM EATING.

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.

Takes me almost all day to drink a gallon of water.

[Henda]

Never tried and never will, can drink 3 pints off the belt when really really thirsty so can't imagine it being too hard

[wes]

Have a nice day pissing every 5 minutes.

Try a gallon of milk instead , heard it works wonders

[CalvinH]

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