eating fast (one orange per second)

[Rhythm Thief]

I drank a pint of bitter in about four seconds once. Actually, more than once, now I think about it.

Is it my imagination, or is drinking that fast not actually going to be as effective at rehydrating you? I know it feels refreshing, gulping down a drink, but is the metabolism actually able to keep up with absorbing the liquid at that pace?

Well, it jut goes into your stomach, it then hangs about for a wee while. I don't think that the speed at which it enters your tummy has any effect on the absorbtion rate.

drinking that much that quickly can put a strain on your liver.

What? water? Beer? Whisky?

How would the water strain your liver?

 

[papercorn2000]

Shurely your kidneys would strain your water!

(Tish boom!)

did i ever say i knew about biology?

kidneys, liver... it's all organs

You didn't eat them though did you? You drank them. I could say I ate 1lb of hops in one go, I simply made them into beer first. Or I ate 2lbs of grass in one sitting, it's just that a cow had turned it into milk first!

well i consumed them, fully. A cow doesn't turn ALL the grass it eats into milk, as some of it goes to nourishing the cow itself.

God, I actually got worried about you and the oranges for a bit earlier. I thought you'd fainted on the loo after that fruit locomotive had thundered through your system

What a hugely racist post. Sexist too.

Bagpipers deserve respect, not foul ridicule.
