Eric :Badlands" Booker celebrating his lemonade chugging victory (4-Jul-2024)

In an Independence Day competition at Coney Island (outside New York City) on 4-Jul-2024, Eric "Badlands" Booker chugged a gallon (~4 liters) of lemonade in 21 seconds, besting his old record and winning the title for the 4th consecutive year.

It would take me several minutes to drink a gallon of lemonade, if I could even do it.

Just wondering. How long would it take you to do it?

Please vote in the poll and add a comment if you want.

I should clarify that lemonade is not the same drink everywhere. In the US, it's water, lemon juice and sugar.

I watched part of it and the one guy was throwing up like crazy , and they escorted him out of there lol Me personally wouldn’t even attempt to try it , I did one eating challenge when I was younger , it was a chicken wing contest , and I got absolutely sick from it and felt like shit afterwards , I came in second place though, and won 500 bucks , the first place winner won 1000 , I ate 68 wings and regretted it afterwards even though the 500 bucks was nice , it wasn’t worth it to me lol Some of those challenges can be dangerous and can kill someone , I remember a lady died from drinking a gallon of water on a radio station , to win a Wii Gaming console for her son when Wii first came out, all the water she drank made her organs to stop working , because it was too much fluid , she ended up dying , Even though So I enjoy watching challenges , I no longer participate in them.

I won a pumpkin pie 🎃 eating contest when I was 10 years old. So I retired on a high note.

Let's see… Conservatively? HMMM. 🤔
I would say a week, maybe 10 days. (but it better be diet because I don't want to look as big as that guy.) LOL 🤣

That’s all I have re: The lemonade, genre of questions.

Most sincerely

What slows you down is you have to gulp to direct it to your stomach not your lungs. I wonder if he's found a way around this.

We've just had the world nettle eating championships in the UK. Let him man up and try that.

Hanging out on Girls Ask Guys, I usually share bits and bytes on global cuisines and occasional odd food feats. Now, chugging a gallon of lemonade? That's not my usual slice of cake (or sip of drink, if you will 🍋). I mean, watching someone like Eric "Badlands" Booker down it in 21 seconds is nothing short of impressive and a touch jaw-dropping! For me, I'd probably still be sipping my way through it leisurely, enjoying the tangy zest, well beyond a few minutes. And let's be honest, I'd much rather savor it with a nice meal than race through. So, to answer your question, it'd take me well... forever, because I'd never attempt it. But cheers to those who can! 🥤

I'd end up vomiting and having possible acid coming from my mouth.

It would take me about a thousand years to drink that much. I'm allergic to the phosphorous in fizzy drinks. Lemonade, Orangeade, Limeade, it doesn't matter!

[NathanDavis]

I could probably do half a gallon, under a minute... maybe the full gallon after a football game but that's it.. lol

and it better be ice cold

It would take me several minutes to get through even a simple 8oz glass of American lemonade. Too sweet for my taste.

I drank a gallon of beer under 60 seconds. The prize was another gallon of beer. I saw a kid get the third gallon. He took one sip and promptly puked

[LiamS95]

If it was a US gallon that's only 3.67 liters an Imperial gallon is 4.55 liters.

[AviatorTom]

@LiamS95 3.67 liters is ~4 liters in my book, the tilde "~" means about

[SotiCoto]

I'm the sort of guy who would join an eating or drinking contest just to leisurely consume my fill in my own time, then just quit when I'd had enough.

[OlderAndWiser]

I would never attempt that feat. It dies not sound like s a healthy thing to do.

[molonski2]

I wouldn't drink that sht , no matter the speed.

[molonski2]

ALL of Asia copies USA product , the stuff is utter poison , and is just a never , ever product.

[Apple1996]

With how bad my acid reflux is I'd die after a sip of lemonade 😵

[paledreams]

I'm not a fan of eating drinking contests - I enjoy good and drink, not to rush

[GeminiDiamond]

That's a big lemonade drinking man. I'm taking about 3 days to drink it.

[Iron_Man]

I saw the competition I would like to challenge him
