How long can someone go without eating or drinking until they die?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

You cannot live without water for more than 24 hours....so if you don't drink anything within 24 hours, you will die.

For eating, your body will go into starvation mode and start eating all your fat reserves and your muscle.....it will probably take a week or so for your body to start withering away and you die.

You cannot usually live past 3 days without fluids (water).
However, you can go an entire year having just water and vitamins if you are extremely over weight.

Our bodies can find "food" by digesting ourselves, first our body starts by digesting muscle and converting it to energy, and then fat, and then when there is no more healthy muscle or fat there are always organs... you will eventually die.

The nice thing is that it is not a painful death as some might think

Dehydration on the other hand is quite painful.

Don't do it either way.

I depends on the person and their current health status. But an average, healthy adult can survive a little over a week with out food or water, but if they had water they can survive a bit longer.

The old adage was 3 minutes without oxygen, 3 days without water and 3 weeks without food

a few days- about 2 weeks. that's what i think but it depends on how much the person already weighs too lol.

if its a absolutely fatty- not long

Depends on how fat they are...
