>> a 5 litre bladder ? That'd be something !
It would be nothing to the Irish hero Finn Mac Cool as depicted in Flann O'Brien's 'At Swim-Two-Birds'... From memory, just to be one of Finn's warriors a man had to be quite burly:
'... ten thousand rams he must sequester with wisdom about his person, the half about his armpits and the half about his trews, without offence to the men of Erin...' He also had to carry 'twenty head of cattle to the seat of his hempen drawers'.
A gallon is nothing to the bladders of geezers like that.
