Given water is 87 degrees
Given air is 90 degrees
Distance 2 miles
Time swimming time around 50 min.
How much fluid will be lost (sweat)? Anyone want to hazard a guess?
I am thinking 3 pints? = 3 pound...
I plan to weigh myself prior to and after the race. Results should be interesting.
These are the kind of nerd experiments I like. They're even better when you go ahead and ferment the sugar to reduce the specific gravity back down to 1.
Ferment it too far, and my understanding is that you can get the specific gravity back down under 1.0.
I did an article on motion sickness once, and I asked one of the experts at the Ashton Graybiel Spatial Orientation Laboratory at Brandeis University why the room seems to spin when you have hog wimperingly intense case of inebriation.
He said that alcohol has slightly less density than water, and if you drink enough, your blood actually becomes a tiny bit lighter than normal, which has the effect of floating these little hair-like danglers within your vestibular system, triggering a sense of motion when you are, in fact, motionless on the bathroom tiles, awaiting your inevitable, revolting penance.
