Re: Why is it not possible to drink a gallon of milk in an hour?

The primary reason it is not possible to drink a gallon of milk in an hour 
is related to stomach capacity.  The capacity of the stomach is about 1 
liter (Wardlaw and Insel.  Pespectives in Nutrition, third edition, 1996). 
 When stomach capacity is exceeded (whether by milk or any other food), the 
natural response will be vomiting.  The stomach empties into the small 
intestine at a rate of about 1-3 milliliters per minute. When you figure 
how long it would take to clear a gallon of fluid from the stomach, it 
would take almost a day for it to enter the small intestine.  The best 
solution to this is to consume milk along with other foods spread out 
throughout the day.
