That’s what my brain wants to know.
Edit: I know you would die, but I need someone to put together a Mythbusters-esque test with a pig stomach or something.
More important edit: DO NOT DO THIS DUMBASSES
Well I don’t know about drinking ammonia and bleach but I have heard about a child who drank bleach in the 60s? 70s? She was about 5 y/o back then and was playing with my mother (also a child at the time). They found some old bottles in a shed and the friend wanted to show off she could have a drink like a grown-up… So she drank it thinking it was vodka or something. It was about a cm or so at bottom of the bottle, something about a mouthful. A few minutes later she started feeling sick, pain in her stomach, so they told her parents, who immediately rushed to the hospital.
They had to wash her whole digestive system, intestines and stomach included.
She survived. The interesting part and the reason I always remember the story is that when the doctors washed her guts, they found a dead tapeworm. The bleach killed it. And the hospital staff gave it back to her in a jar haha. What a souvenir.

Uhhhh, doesn’t the digestive system break down and slough off in tapeworm like pieces? I remember the BtB episode on those crazy Church of Bleach fuckers, and that was one of the symptoms the children had after their parents forced them to drink small amounts of bleach over a time. Here’s an ABC article that comments that they claim it kills parasites, so I’m not convinced it was an actual tapeworm…
Task failed successfully
Bleach and ammonia makes chloramine which is a poisonous gas, so that’s 3 times you’d be dead.
Damn, okay, but if you also die of embarrassment from doing something so stupid… That would be 4 times… So it would all cancel out since it’s an even number! Booyah!
Short answer is you would probably die.
Bleach and ammonia make chloramine gas which is incredibly poisonous, readily dissolves in water and is a fairly caustic acid.
Probably depends on how much you drink. Particularly bleach. Drink enough, you likely won’t make it to the amonia. If you drink only a capful of bleach, that’s enough to ruin your digestive tract and be very unpleasant.
Don’t do it. And don’t do it to anybody, either. If you know somebody who has…. Call 911 or poison control.
This sounds a little like my sherbet and coke experiment. The result was profound discomfort. Glad I was in the control group on that one, but my sister never let me hear the end of it.
The good news is that you would not reproduce. Darwin says thanks.
If doesn’t kill you, it would make you very, very sick.
