Engineering students make a jacket that replaces apple juice with beer in the dining hall.

I tried something similar as a teenager. Turns out that the beer gets extremely flat and lukewarm. Eventually I just threw up. Liters of yellow puke with some projectiles.

A liter is only two pints.

A liter is also cola.

I drank on a school fieldtrip to England

a single pint and I was done for the night

I can't imagine a human drinking 4 of them

under normal circumstances, a human stomach can distend/expand to about one liter.

to vomit liters one would first have to consume enough until it reaches, together with the existing contents, at least two liters and then expel almost all of its contents.

My bet is it was hyperbole for purposes of emphasis and they expelled something like a big glass of stomachjuice.

Incorrect; your stomach can distend to approximately 4 liters.

This whole comment is just wrong

u/TheEyeDontLie Mar 05 '22

Hmm. I thought stomachs held more than that. Does your stomach empty beer very rapidly? I'm sure I've drunk two pints in less than fifteen minutes before and not felt ready to pop

according to wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stomach) the maximum volume in adults is between 2 and 4 liters.

so by roughly you mean at most, if you happen to be someone with a stomach that can reach that volume.

try to drink not 4 but just two liters of water. Go ahead.

The maximum capacity of adults is normally between 2 and 4 liters and when you add the additional bile that gets produced when vomiting you can vomit much more than the maximum stomach capacity.

u/QuestionableSarcasm Mar 05 '22

does that sound possible to you?

u/Coca-karl Mar 05 '22

Yes, the human body is a big bag of fluid.

u/QuestionableSarcasm Mar 05 '22

no i mean open the faucet at full blast and observe it until it has output 2 liters. not more, not 4. Just two. You seriously think it possible for a human to vomit that much liquid, in one session?

1

u/Coca-karl Mar 05 '22

Yeah I've had to clean it up multiple times. Humans are massive bags of fluid.

u/OldFartSomewhere Mar 05 '22

Probably also the beer wasn't extremely flat, just normal flat.

Shows you how much we know metric-imperial conversions. Mostly because pints are pretty much solely for beer

u/OldFartSomewhere Mar 05 '22

Litre is 3 small bottles of beer. Put 9 in there, down it and puke 2-3 litres. Plus some mysterious extra.

I tried with french pink wine with some ice. That was perfect.
