I watched a show on the food network and they ate the hottest peppers they could find and tryed everything to make the burning stop. Milk seemed to be the best one according to them.
I use milk when I eat hot foods!

Sounds like milk works good. As noted the Indians use yogurt. (practically the same thing). Beside "lassi" they serve a beautiful chilled sauce called "Raita" which is make from cucumber and yogurt, sometimes with mint, which is supposed to counter-act the spicy heat.
But "surviving the hottest hot sauce" seems a somewhat stupid purpose to start with! Why not just enjoy your food. If you can no longer taste the other ingredients of the sauce through the "burn" then its too hot for your system. Why do you want to do that?
The complete blend of spices in Indian, Mexican, Thai, Szechwan cooking etc., are so wonderful that I don't understand why you want to just burn off your taste buds instead?
If you eat food way too spicy for your system you can get, heart burn, stomach trouble, ulcers, gas, diarrhea, not to mention the infamous "ring-stinger!"
If you eat hot spicy food everyday like I do (I live in Mexico) then you will build up a natural tolerance without damaging your digestive system and you will be able to eat the hottest habanero sauce and STILL taste all the OTHER wonderful flavors underneath it!
(Note: using the "boutique," insanely hot sauces like "Dave's Insanity," "Mad Dog," "Mega Death," "Elephant Killer" is much like using thermonuclear weapons for household defence: unecessary, stupid and dangerous.............)

When eating any hot food or any food with really hot sauce, avoid the food or hot sauce touching your lips. The hot food or hot sauce should immediately have contact with the farther part of your tongue (not the tip) so you won't feel pain, just the flavor.

Milk should help. I heard that hot sauce contain a chemical that could be neutralized by acidic liquid, and the lactic acid in milk was the best. Of course milk taste good, right?

Dave's Ultimate Insanity is the hottest sauce I have ever tried. I use one drop to nicely heat a POT of stew or chili.
Nothing works to cut the heat when I eat it straight. It gets worse when I go to the bathroom.

First off, avoid the burn by NOT breathing through your mouth, no matter how hot it is. If you do, it will get hotter and hotter.
Put a lump of sugar on your tongue. Milk. Honey.
But really, just dont breathe in through your mouth and you will be okay.

According to the experts, milk is the best BUT, you are not supposed to swallow it , just swish it around until the burn goes away and spit it out. If you swallow it, the burn just travels down with the milk.

Try sweetened condensed milk. It has both the milk and the sugar.
