They will only give you 5  I guess in your case they gave you 10 minutes to drink it?
I would think 10 minutes to finish a drink as small as that bottle wouldn't be a problem idk...anyway the 3 hour test really *****! You go in they draw your blood, Then have you drink the drink but this one is % 50 more milligrams sugary. You drink the drink, wait an hour, draw your blood, wait an hour draw your blood, wait an hour draw your blood. So they draw your blood a total of 4 times.

They gave me 5 minutes to drink mine also. I didnt chug it, but I tried to get it down as fast as possible without puking. Ask for a different flavor next time, if they have choices. I had a choice between orange, lemon-lime, and fruit punch. I took lemon-lime. And if you don't have to fast for it, make sure that you don't eat anything with a lot of sugar before going. I had eggs and potatoes before my test and passed.

more than likely theyll make you retake it. like above ^^^ I only got 5 minutes to drink it, and while it was gross, it wasnt that big of a bottle  THANKFULLY I passed 1st time.  But I'd rather take the 1 hour one, than the 3 hour one. do your best

They might make you take another test and try again.  This is a very important test. They only gave me 5 minutes to drink mine. I chugged it. I failed.  Had to take the 3 hour test.
