Returning to that late-night scene in the kitchen, should you worry about drinking a mouthful of bleach? You’ll probably be fine. Most household bleaches contain fairly low concentrations of sodium hypochlorite — about 3 to 6 percent. That’s not an endorsement for trying it, but for the average adult, you shouldn’t expect anything worse than an upset stomach.

Now, what if you pop the cap and start guzzling away? Or what if you slurp from a more concentrated supply of industrial-strength bleach, where the percentage of sodium hypochlorite can swell to double digits? You’re in for a world of hurt. Symptoms range from gagging, pain and irritation in the mouth and throat; pain and possible burns in the esophagus and stomach; vomiting; and shock can appear right away to within a few hours. If you don’t treat the symptoms immediately, you can permanently damage your gastrointestinal tract and internal organs — and, depending on how much you drink, you could die.

This is such white privilege it’s beyond mentioning. /s

"You know how you can get that concentrated bleach?"
"Yeah."
"And how you can defeat the childproof lid if you can find a child?"
"Oh, they're hard to find."
"And how you can hold your nose and slug it down?"
"Oh, boy, do I."
"Well, I took a quart bottle ..."
"Yeah?"
"... and stuck it in my mouth..."
"Yeah?"
"... and I chugged it down..."
"Oh, boy."
"... and I found out the Church is right..."
"You mean...?"
"Yup... I'm about to meet Jesus."
"Amen."
