to be honest, i think it makes NO DIFFERENCE whether you down a protein/meal replacement shake in 30 seconds or sip on it for 5 minutes. BUT, if you are having a big MRP like a weight gainer, such as myoplex mass or NLarge or shit like that, the only problem with trying to down it in 30 seconds is that 1: you will probably drown cause there will be so much liquid in those shakes, and 2: you will probably hurl if you take it in so quick. if its a straight pure protein its normally much less liquid and much thinner cause of the no carbs, so that can be downed without possible bodily damage

the only thing that will happen if pounded is stinky smelly gas, less gas if taken in gradually

if you drink it slower it gives your stomach time to react and release digestive enzymes for a head start before everything alread in there??

just a thought, but im sure it doesnt matter too much

There is a difference and here it is: when you sip the shake it tastes like crap longer than it should and when you gulp the shake it tastes like crap for a breif moment.
