Random Poll of the Day! (147)

[Kor]

Take a glass with your favorite cold drink and put it on the table close to you. Now, do whatever you want (surf the web, read a book, do nothing), but you must not drink anything. How long can you last before you can't hold it anymore and have to drink?

Also, don't drink anything before you start with this little test.

I just got finished drinking a glass of water, but I know for a fact that the answer's 20+ minutes because I oftentimes get a drink and then forget about it :V

I tend to do that as well.... -_-

The problem with this poll is that I wouldn't want to sit and wait for the drink to get hot purposely... It feels like a waste. D:

[Kleene Onigiri]

Now I'm thirsty and look at my drink :V

Let's see how long I can make it :x

[Vylash]

2-3 minutes

You guys are missing the point. At this situation, the drink is the point. You know that you need to keep track of time and the drink is right next to you, so the chances of you forgetting about it in the next 20 minutes are rather slim

"I once forgot about a drink in my life for more than 20 minutes, so it obviously applies to this poll as well"
makes as much sense as
"I once hit in the middle of the target with an arrow, so obviously I'm a master-archer"

You know that there is a less than a minute option, right? 

[Shin101]

27 minutes, just coz it's nighttime and I don't feel like drinking cold drinks

[alicetama]

6-7 min.

I get hydrated easily.

[Kleene Onigiri]

~ 20 mins now :x

[Dus]

After 5 minutes I decided I wouldn't be bossed around by some silly poll and downed the entire botle.

Yeah you show the poll who is boss!

[nomemory]

More than twenty minutes now. I got so caught up in what I was doing that I forgot all about it.

"I once hit in the middle of the target with an arrow, so obviously I'm a master-archer"

that's a bad analogy, because being proficient in archery is an actual skill that needs mastering, whereas the ability to not drink something doesn't take skill at all, just more than a minimum amount of willpower.

You're also exaggerating the point, saying "once in my life", rather than having it be a normal occurrence as I pointed out. If someone got bulls-eye's as a normal occurrence in archery, yes, they would in fact be a pretty good archer.

so yes, I do believe the fact that I oftentimes forget about my drink does in fact count towards this poll. I can't exactly do the test anyway, considering all I have around is water (or alcohol, but I don't plan on getting drunk at 2 pm).
