Poll of the Day > How does such a small sip of tea (cause it's hot) allow me to take so many pills

(+) Yeah! (+)

Normally I take pills with water, there are alot, I take 11 of them and the metropolals are huge.

Anyway, my water was waaaay over there and my tea that I just made was here, so I tried to drink some
to take my pills but it was seriously hot, so I could only take a tiny sip.

But it let me swallow them all!!!

I don't even get that, no way I could take them without any liquid, that was almost like magic.

I've never had trouble with this either. Except with my carbamazepine. That shit starts resolving almost instantly and gets all mushy. It tastes awful too. I need ay least enough spit un my mouth to get it down before it falls apart.

Yeah seriously they are lol, at least that many. I take 2 of each of them except for simvistatin, which is 9 pills. The metformin (not the metropolol I was wrong) are freaking huge. About the size of two normal pills put together. I wouldn't try to just take them by themselves dry.

I mean, I could probably do them a few at a time with no water.

But just a tiny little sip of tea...and they all just went down....so it was really weird.

What Tea are we talking here?
Asking because British.
---

I always drink black english tea, with a bit of sugar (like more, but diabetic) and creamer.

I can do other teas, especially in a chineese resteraunt etc, but yeah, thats my favorite and all I have at home.

Does the same thing happen with hot water? because hot temperatures help your muscles loosen up while cold does the opposite (which is why you forcefully gasp if you try to shower in cold water for example).

No clue, I have taken my pills with tea before, but never when it was so hot I could only take a tiny sip. Never tried with just plain hot water though.

Perhaps that is why though, or maybe your muscles just expand when they think you are drinking a liquid and that is why the pills just went poof. Whatever it was, it was kinda cool.
