Three and a half days. With about eight ounces of water.
Power was out, water was cut off, Florida middle of August.

It was terrible. And I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

I went without food or water for a little over two days when I was sick at home alone to the point that I couldn’t get up to get anything without excruciating pain and for three days when my boyfriend (well, ex now) and I broke up.

I’ve gone without food for two or more days several times. I’ve been sick to the point of not being able to eat more times than I care to remember. :(
I don’t think I’ve ever gone without fluids of some kind for more than half a day or so. Ever since I got kidney disease, I’ve been especially careful about that.

Not as much as all people above told. But, I do fast every night during sleep!

22 hours—- After the prep for a colonoscopy. I’ll never look at gatorade the same way again.
