Two years ago I had my one and only colonoscopy. My grandmother had colon cancer and survived but it is in the genes. I weigh 98 pounds and I had to drink all of that stuff. I didn't mind the taste, in fact I sort of liked it. But when I got to the 2nd part and had to drink the rest I could not physically do it. I reasoned to myself then to my friend that a 5'1" woman shouldn't be asked to drink the same amount as an adult male. I left about 10 oz in the jug and said "ENOUGH!". I thought that no one else has been irritated by this ridiculous practice until I read your post.
