I would waterboard myself with a tall cold frothy glass of whole chocolate milk. I'm a dirty little milk slut. I think I was essentially stockholmed into it. I remember being like "ew fat bad" as a kid and drinking skim for cereal. But somewhere down the line that turned into me just slopping heavy whipping cream neat. I mean fuck me I'm drinking a chocolate milk on my walk to work right fucking now.

    I once drank so much chocolate milk in a short time that I almost puked. Was like almost 2L

    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.

    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)

    I worked cleaning dishes in my college cafeteria, and one of the idiots working there made a bet that he could drink a gallon of milk without puking.

    3 minutes later, he ran back into the dishroom and began vomiting in the soaking tub.

    The human body physically rejects dairy at a certain point.

    I know. I have seen videos from like 2010 of people puking after trying that. Although 2L is still quite a bit less than a gallon.

    Once I learned fat is good, I started laying heavy layers of butter, lots of cheese, drinking whole milk, etc. And it tastes good, because we've evolved to like what's good for us.

    because we've evolved to like what's good for us.

    Lots of tasty berries will kill you. So will tons of would-be herbs. Processed sugar is delicious. So are a lot of foods with trans fats. Cyanide apparently tastes like almonds. And kids ate lead paint chips because they were sweet.

    Nice job, evolution!

    We also developed brains to learn which things will kill us despite tasting good, so that's fine. Very good job, evolution!

    Yeah that part is true, I'm just saying that something tasting good doesn't mean it's good for you

    In certain cases, sure. But for the most part, if it tastes good and can be found in nature ready to eat, it's usually good for you. But yes yes yes, certain conditions apply, etc etc yadda yadda.
