The Milk Bet

[West]

Due to circumstances beyond his control, my friend didn't make it to the card game on Friday, so the milk challenge didn't happen. I was dissapointed, but it still should happen at the next one in about a month.

Is diarrhea allowed? It seems that someone whose body gives milk the fast-track through for lack of lactase would be able to manage, though they may be on the toilet for half of it.

matt flynn and others are right: this is not the classic milk bet.

only whole milk is the officical milk bet of 1 gallon in 1 hour.

anything else is completely different. to use a dumb analogy: if someone bet you that you couldn't run a 4 minute mile, and you did it by driving an electric scooter, you didn't win the bet.

day and night people.

From what I've read the % doesn't really matter, as it's not content, but volume that makes the feat insane. It's not impossible but from everything I've seen it's like less than 2% of the population can do it given the fact that the average stomach is .5 gallons and milk breaks down at a slow enough rate that intake>output.

[chuddo]

whole milk is the only way to go. possibly it breaks down slower?

with skim milk, you might as well take a gallon of water and put some drops of milk in there and call it "light milk".

the challenge should only be whole milk. if you think there is no difference, then it should be done in whole just to keep people like myself from whining and calling foul.

From what I've read, the pH change (difference between milk and stomach acid) is also a supsect for what induces the vomiting. To me, pointing to the fat content as the trigger sounds like a knee-jerk reaction: its got more calories, so it must be harder to hold down! I have no idea which idea is more accurate, however.

If its true that intake>output because of the rate milk breaks down at, then wouldnt 4% take longer to break down than 2%?

I'd be willing to believe that. I've pounded a gallon of water in like 20 minutes, back when I was in the service, on a dare. My head was floatin after that though.

If we agreed that I can [censored] while I drink, I'll take the milk challenge, because I'm horrible lactose intolerant [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I love this analogy.

Yeah, AFAIK, normally the bet is only about not throwing it up. So going to the bathroom doesn't lose it.

if it goes out in the direction that it normaly does, its all good.
