I am VERA familiar with this. When I was an itinerate hack musician, we used have trouble filling the endless hours in the van between gigs. I don't remember how we got on the subject, but the keyboard player said that if a person drinks a gallon of water in an hour, you would DIE. And then, of course, I called BS. And a wager was made.

So a gallon of water and 1 hour later, I was sick and dizzy and was passing water for the next 2 days. I could barely play the show that night. HAOWEVUH:

Not ONLY did I get piano-boy's 100$ per diem, but I also had the cleanest colon in the band for the next week. But it's NOT something I would recommend ANYONE doing. Unless an OBSCENE amount of money is involved, and you don't have anything to do for about 48 hours other than shiver, sweat and run to the bathroom every 10 minutes.
