Did you chug it? or take it in several mouthfuls? I've drank about the same amount a couple of times. I prefer to take it in 2 or 3 chugs, with just enough time inbetween to get a couple breaths and appreciate what I'm in the middle of.
How long did it take you to collect your 40 loads? I usually measure my collections by days. I always lose track of the actual number of loads.
