What would happen if you drank liquid nitrogen?

Answer 1

Dunno, try it and if you don't reply within 2 days, I'll assume it killed you.

Answer 2

You would die a very painful death.

Liquid nitrogen has a temperature of around -195°C and anything it touched, including your insides, would instantly freeze solid.

In addition, if you managed to swallow some before you passed out, the heat of your body would cause some of it to vapourise and if the gases released couldn't get out because of a frozen blockage being in the way you'd probably blow up like a balloon.

If you want to commit suicide, I'd find another way if I were you.

Answer 3

Liquid Nitrogen will be bewteen the following temperatures:

Boiling Point @ 1 atm: -320.5°F (-195.8°C, 77oK)
Freezing Point @ 1 atm: -346.0°F (-210.0°C, 63oK)

If you could even try to drink it it would instantly freeze your mouth, nose, lips. tongue, throat, and any other part of your anatomy it came into contact with. This would cause them to swell and become immobile.

This would result in solidification of these parts of your essential system for swallowing and breathing - whilst you effectively suffocated in the ensuing few minutes it is also quite likely that it would be terrifically painful - although this may not be noticeable in the short time you would remain alive after its consumption.

The sudden freezing of yourface, maouth, nose, throat and chest would render you unable to breathe and you would likely die in a paroxysm of panic and pain.

So personally I'd stick to Carling Extra Cold.

Answer 4

It would begin turning into gas as soon as it hit your mouth... so if you were even able to swallow any of it, your mouth would freeze, your esophagus would freeze, and your stomach would explode. It would be a very very painful death.

Your teeth would freeze immediately and probably shatter.

Answer 5

you could basically sip it because of the fact the warmth of your mouth vapourises small quantities without put off yet a minimum of one individual has blown a lung by sipping too lots via speedy exchange in quantity because it modifications section from liquid to gasoline.

Answer 6

Well I agree with most of the answers that you would snuff it but i think i read somewhere that life can be preserved or immortality of brain can be assured by preserving in some wierd mixtur of gases (theory).Even when i wite this i can see your expressions.

(WHAT ON EARTH IS HE SMOKING?????????)

Answer 7

You would probably turn into an iceberg. If your tongue and mouth weren`t freezed and burnt first. A terrible way to die !
