    I once saw a guy drink 10 litres of water in a contest. He had to puke afterwards, but anyway, a stomach can hold more than 4 litres.

    Wikipedia claims that the observed extreme maximum was 15 liters.

      Mythbusters once claimed that you couldn’t die from drinking mentos and coke when they tests a pig stomach’s capacity, oh man did that thing stretch like crazy, but they failed to account for flow from stomach into lungs while overfilling. In fact, merely a few liters could potentially prove fatal to a small untrained frame, such as those who died from the milk jug challenge.
