Old prop bet, can this be done?

[David04]

Last year, someone I know bet that they could drink an entire gallon of milk in half an hour. They tried to do it and lost. That got me and my friends talking, saying that we could do it in an hour, whatever. Nothing else really came of this, but I've been thinking about it recently. I think I could probably get down an entire gallon of 1% milk and keep it down for long enough to win the bet.

Has anyone here ever done this and won? What should I do to prepare? Drink a lot of water/milk the week or so before, and nothing on the day I drink the milk? I'm a pretty big guy, so maybe that will help.

Any tips for doing this? Or am I wasting my time?

Also, do you think it matters whether or not I drink from a cup or straight from the gallon(from a psychological standpoint)

Any other technicalities I can use to make this easier on myself(drink from a cup, 1% or skim milk, etc.)

One more thought-would it be better to drink as much as possible in the first 10-15 minutes and then wait to digest a little? Or drink it all as fast as I can? Or pace myself, something like 1 liter every 15 minutes or so?
