Hearing about some of the "challenges" people participate in is enough to make a person wonder if they ever think before do anything,it is pretty scary knowing these folks are out on their own. I hadn't heard of the gallon challenge and I suppose it could seem innocuous enough if a person didn't know that the stomach doesn't hold much over a 1/2 gallon in an hours time. The challenge is to drink a gallon of milk or water within an hour and not throw up. Unfortunately only 1 in 15 people would be able to complete this challenge without harming themselves. Milk is more likely just to make a person sick but drinking that much water can cause low potassium and sodium,plus an electrolyte imbalance which can lead to fatal disturbance in brain functions and yes,several people have died. A person might be better off with the Tide pods challenge but I wouldn't suggest doing either.
