Just a random curious question really.
How long does the average breakfast/lunch/dinner take before it passes through the stomach, in through the intestines and ready to be passed out through the anus?
In addition, how long does it take for drink to be passed through? I.e. water, cup of tea, alcohol etc.
I'm not really much of a scientist, but if anyone knew, it'd be really interesting to know.

How the bloomin' hell am I supposed to know the wee I just had was from the drink I had an hour ago or the drink I had two hours ago?! Etc!
You're obviously no scientist then.. Lol.
Go to the toilet then drink a big cup of tea...see how long it takes before you are bursting for a pee. It varies with everyone! For me its usually anywhere between half an hour to 2 hours...it depends on your metabolism and how much you have eaten. There really is no definite answer. Same for food, certain foods are processed quicker than others.
Wow I didn't know that!
So, if I was to have a big cup of tea, it would come out at the same time would it? Not half the cup one time and half the cup 30 minutes later?
Hmm. I feel a little experiment coming on!
Well I always drink water, so I spend my whole day bursting for wees. But when i've had a wee, I find myself needing to go again 10 minutes later... unless i've got a obsessive compulsive disorder? Hehe!
But will need to give it ago in a minute.
If I have a drink then I'll need to go in about an hour or 2.
But even if I have been for a pee first,I'll need to go again between 10 and 15 minutes after sex.
Why?
Drink some and wait to see how long before you pee blue..........
They said anus, he hee.
What a heap of lies. It don't take that long for food and water to pass through your system. :rolleyes:
.............or diabetes! :eek:
I don't know if any of the above is true, but it's what Mr Makucewicz told me.
