wow OK, I stand corrected. I always, wrongly assumed that more than tiny amount would make digestive system go crazy and probably cause vomit or other unpleasant consequences
To be fair, from my recollection of freshmen challenges, a cup of vinegar, a large raw onion, and a head of garlic is sufficient to either induce vomiting, or to compel the 'winner' to self-induce vomiting.

The advent of both these kind of challenges as well as Youtube have brought to light a level of durability of the human digestive tract I wouldn't have previously expected. One only needs to watch someone like skippy62able (L.A. Beast) to have their eyes opened (and possibly their gag reflex triggered). For example, witness him consuming baking soda and then drinking a glass of vinegar:

Vinegar has nothing on the natural stomach acid already present in your digestive system. People don't give enough credit to how resilient the human body actually is.
Edit: Ok, wanted to make a correction after thinking more about that day: My consumed amount was likely around half that. I was consuming various other oddities during this time as well (drinking hot sauce for example) and there couldn't have been room for 16oz of just vinegar. If you've not played around with those tablets, I recommend it even if you get some stomach upset from the things you consume.
