Question 1:

After water is drunk it enters stomach. Does water stay in stomach along with food for sometime or does it enter small intestine directly. And Is all of the water absorbed into the bloodstream through the small intestine?

Question 2:

Stomach mainly produces gastric acid and pepsinogen. How would stomach react to water? Is gastric acid always present there in the stomach whether there is some food or not? If it is there all the time, then after the milk is drunk it would congest. Right? But would it produce pepsinogen though there are no proteins in water? If not, then how would it know that there are no proteins in water and it doesn't need to produce pepsinogen?

It’s a difficult question for any man to answer… Whether to follow his dreams no matter what… Or to give in slowly and let life lead you where it will.
