Strange question...

[LD1Racing]

There are some people having a weigh-off in the mess at the moment (don't ask) which has now turned into a water drinking and cake eating contest.

My question is, if you drink 5 litres of water and manage not to throw up, you should be 5kg heavier, right?

I would assume so unless you take a piss

Me too, just doesn't seem to work in reality

Absolutely right, apart from that which you sweat and lose through respiration I guess.

I remember (a loooong time ago)in physics class we were told if you ate 1lb of tatties you wouldnt weigh a 1lb heavier because of the energy burnt during the actual eating and consumption.

Its a pointless answer I know but it was worth a shot
