People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. You can replace the addres of .x.com to xcancel.com in the address. https://web.archive.org/save is an option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.

Yeesh, drinking that much fluid in one go can be really dangerous, yeah.
This is true, but drinking two liters of milk is a lot less dangerous than drinking two liters of water, because that much water at once will throw your electrolyte balance off, and that's what can kill you. Milk has electrolytes in it so the effect isn't necessarily as dire. But... still wouldn't recommend it.
So you're saying it's what plants crave?
Not as much as Brawndo, but yes.

Fuck I did once drink 3L of water in the span of 20 minutes just to see how much I could drink. After about 2.5L you can barely even drink at all. Not to mention how hard you have to go piss
Water also has electrolytes in it, unless you are drinking RO or distilled water (which is perfectly safe by the way, the urban myth that drinking distilled water will kill you is incorrect)
Dude when I'm running a race I have to walk while drinking the tiny little paper cup of water they give you enroute because the physical activity combined with drinking something makes my stomach churn (nerves might also be playing a factor since I'm still at the stage where every race I'm excited but also too nervous to eat and struggle to get enough calories in before the race)
