your right about the 3 days for water but you can only go a week without food. sorry to tell you your friend was ( is ) right
i know everyone is giving you all these possibles but there leaving out the basics. once you go over a week without food your body doesn't have any nutrients to break down. this causes your system to resort in breaking down the next best thing. your internal organs and muscles. so, if someone is wanting to be real ill and unable to get around just to survive from not eating then the overall answer is: you can go as long as your system isn't broke down. I'm sure there hasn't been an exact study on a living person yet. it would be called murder..lol

I was in the military and in survival school they said that you can go without food for 28- 30 days and you can go without water for 3-4 days.

You are sick! You need to see a doctor, you shouldn't be fasting like that. You're ruining your metabolism! Don't you understand how unsafe that is? You shouldn't ever go three days without water, you shouldn't go one day without water. Your body NEEDS water to function, when you're dehydrating yourself, you're causing brain damage, do you understand? Please promise me you will get help if this is something you do often. Even so, you need to confess to your doctor, and have him or her run a thorough physical. No joke. This is the only body you get in this life, treat it with respect, and you can use it to carry you through to a ripe old age!!

You can go at least a month if you are hydrated.
Me though, 4 hours.
1 day and I'd be such an angry person I would kill people, if not myself!

Saddam went on a 17 day hunger strike before they force fed him....you can go along time on little or no food.
