BAD LINK! :Q :Q :Q
here

Milk does a body good, but it didn't do good for one batboy.

On a dare, a Florida Marlins batboy tried to drink a gallon of milk in under an hour without throwing up. But not only did the batboy not succeed in the challenge, his mere attempt cost him his job for six games, the Miami Herald reported Wednesday.

The Marlins suspended the unidentified batboy for the team's upcoming six-game homestand against the Cardinals and Mets from Aug. 28 through Sept. 4 for accepting the dare Sunday from Dodgers pitcher (and former Marlin) Brad Penny.

Penny offered the batboy $500 if he could drink a gallon of milk in less than an hour before Sunday's game without throwing up. Penny told the paper the boy drank the milk and didn't throw up, but didn't finish the gallon in the allotted time frame to win the dare.

"It's kind of ridiculous that you get a 10-game suspension for steroids and a six-game suspension for milk," Penny told the Herald.

''It's ridiculous that they worry about stuff like that. It shows they [the Marlins organization] don't know anything about the game. That kind of stuff goes on everywhere. It didn't affect the way he worked, the way he did his job.''

we had a guy at qork try it as a dare last week. he got 3/4 of it sown and gave up with 10-15min left. was so funny watching him go at it even though i told him its not unpossible.

You think a batboy is going to turn down a chance to make $500 in 1hr?

no sh!t. shouldve dared him to smoke a blunt or shoot up a gallon of roids. marlins wouldve signed him for 10yrs@10mil each.

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.

Kinda weird... Ive definitely had pretty close to a gallon of soda, etc. in a hour.

Are you sure about that? Because I've drank between 2 and 2.5 gallons of fluid (mostly water, but with some gatorade included) in about 10 hours before, and my stomach didnt feel full at the end of that time.

I wonder if it matters what kind of liquid it is. Soda which is mostly simple sugars, will metabolize much faster than lactose I'd image...

I could've done it if it was soy milk

Somehow, I doubt that. Drinking a gallon of anything in an hour is tough for your body to hold in.

I think it most certainly depends on the liquid.

Milk needs to be digested, water does not.

 

[lrad50]

500 bucks? penny must be pretty damn bored!

I think water can be passed through mucous membranes and into the body directly from the stomach, but I could be wrong.

Folks, a gallon is a LOT of fluid. I'm questioning whether you people that think you have drank a gallon really did.

What are we talking about here?

A gallon is 128oz.

That would be two 2 liters or six and a half 20oz's, or twelve 12oz cans...

I guess you could do it if you consciously tried...

I drink a lot of pop, and I max out at a 2 liter or 6 cans a day...

 

[CrazyDe1]

I've drank 100 shots of beer in a 100 minutes...

Not close to a gallon and not as heavy in your stomach as milk...

 

[DVad3r]

Intresting. I guess it would depend on your metabolism too and stomach capacity. A gallon of water in an hour is no problem, but milk is much heavier (it's liquid food) so a gallon might be difficult, a good bet to try in the future though hehe So why exactly did he get suspended, just for the milk? That's retarded.

Assuming 1.5oz shots, that would be over a gallon.

Even 1oz shots would be pretty close to a gallon...

Small shots? lol

1 Liter = 33.8 oz. 2 Liter = 67.6 oz. 2*2 Liter = 135.2 oz.
6.5 * 20 oz = 130 oz.
12 * 12oz = 144 oz.

I'm just being anal.

If you give me a big batch of brownies, I could polish off a gallon of milk in about an hour. The trick is to vomit BEFORE the time starts.
