How long would it take you to drink 20 consecutive glasses of ice water?

Forever. More than a little bit of water at a time makes me nauseous.

I understand. I'm not usually a fan of water, either.

A day, maybe. Unless i were trying to commit suicide by ice headache, which seems to me a stupid way to go.

after mowing the lawn on a 37C (99F) day, not too long at all.

About 10 hours, I would think. The water itself would not be a problem, but I prefer tepid water. Ice water makes my stomach hurt.

How big a glass are we talking?
I'm not a fan of ice, myself. Cold water, sure. but ice just takes up space in the cup where my water could be.
I generally drink about two liters of water between waking up and lunchtime, sometimes more.

A full 8 oz.

Left to my own devices? About 3 days.

I love water and generally drink lots of it. But I prefer it tepid. I might be able to drink it quickly if i were really hot. But 20 8oz glasses would still take some spacing out. Given hot enough conditions, my being dehydrated, and some pressing need to drink the water quickly - I could probably do it in 5 or 6 hours.
(when I bike I can go thorough 2 full camels of water in 2 hours. I don't remember what my camel holds tho... maybe 20 oz?)

Assuming 8oz. each?

Depends on how masochistic I was feeling. If I really pushed, I could do it in a few hours. I do prefer my water ice cold.

The real question for me is: How many hours would I spend going to the restroom every 10 minutes after drinking that much? My body is funny that way... :-)

This project took me the better part of a week--five days. I would have completed the challenge earlier, but I, on auto-pilot, had two soft drinks before I hit myself on the forehead.

Believe me, I tried to drink as much as my body would allow. After a while, I really wanted to drink something with flavor. Plus, as I was sick, my dad kept encouraging me to drink orange juice. (I instead ingested Vitamin C tablets.)

I finished last night, and what do I do today? Reach for water. I am a strange cookie.
