What happens if you drink gasoline?

Answer 1

I really knows what happens if you drink it, my son once drank gasoline, he really didn't know what it was. He was only 5 at the time; we took him to hospital. The doctors made him trhow up (vomit) and give him some medications. I stay with him overnight in the hospital and the next day he was at home.

Answer 2

Why would any one want to drink gasoline much less ask what would happen?
that would be a really stupid thing to do. Nothing good would come from it Trust me on this.
I know some one who tried to steal gas out of a car with a hose and started to suck it out and accidently swallowed some and then went blind a couple hours later.

Answer 3

If it gets in your lungs, it can kill you, pretty fast. painfully.
I don't see how one COULD drink gasoline without getting fumes in your lungs.



It is a poison, and a lot of the gas additives are also poisonous.

To really know what would happen if you drank gasoline, you need to know the volume of gasoline, probably the weight of the subject, and what additives were in the gas.


But, in general:

"Ingestion

Gasoline is not as readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract as from the respiratory tract. In adults, about 20 to 50 g can cause severe intoxication and 350 g (12 oz.) can result in death for a 70 kg individual. As little as 10 to 15 g (less than one-half ounce) may be fatal in children. Symptoms of intoxication by ingestion of gasoline can range from vomiting, vertigo, drowsiness and confusion to loss of consciousness, convulsions, hemorrhaging of the lungs and internal organs, and death due to circulatory failure. Ingestion can cause irritation to the gastrointestinal mucosa and can be complicated by pulmonary aspiration, resulting in chemical pneumonitis."

There's little research on what happens if you drink the stuff, an EPA spokesman said, and indeed, in 1997, the agency's Office of Water concluded there wasn't enough data to say much about the health risks.
