Do a lama . <| sep |> Yep , Pick 58 . <| sep |> Dang you Singaporeans and your superior AFA . I ' ll be here with my inferior Indonesian AFA . <| sep |> You ' d live presuming your stomach and whatnot were mostly empty . The quart of soy sauce would give you massive diarrhea and you ' d purge everything in your guts before you ' d absorbed enough alcohol to kill you . The quart of soy sauce myth is engaging , but saline laxative is sold in every drug store in the modern world . It is very hard to keep the salt in your system long enough for it to do you any harm . Of course the booze would probably make you puke as well . You body hates dying , and resists it strongly . You would find it impossible to hold down or hold in that much salt . So the quart of soy sauce would never kill you . Ever . And the quart of alcohol might give it a go , but not if it was mixed with the saline . You have to be quite ill , or have some other conditions , or have a gut fulltobursting with other stuff including food for salt to kill you . This is also why , if you ever take an enema or oral laxative the label says to go to the emergency room if you haven ' t pooped within a particular time frame . Basically you have to have something mechanically blocking your digestive tract long enough to trick your body into absorbing the stuff . So if you , say , ate a whole pizza before the event then you ' d be in danger . If you did eat a pizza first , then the alcohol would make you pass out first , but the salt would probably stop your heart before the alcohol killed you . Getting it down in the first place is a herculean chore . Google saline laxative to see what I mean about the mixture and the empty stomach , and try gagging down that stuff some time , particularly the unadorned brine style . Had to do if for a medical test once and barely managed to swallow the recommended dosage , which was much less than what you propose .
