Burping?

[lol123]

ok i know that burping is basically the release of gases after the compsumption of sertain foods and drinks.
but i have the ability to drink air (wtf) and make a huge burp..can anyone tell me how is this caused? does this air go down to the stomach and then released baulintaraly? any one any one

Burping isn't just released gas made by food, it's also released air that you accidentally swallow with food, spit, water, etc.
So yeah, swallowing nothing but air is a good way to get a good burp. It goes into your stomach, then your body burps it out like it's meant to.

And yes, I can as well :P

That would be what is sometimes referred to as 'fake burping'. :P

Yeah I can "drink air" too. Pretty fun. (:

Yeah, I can fake burp too. But according to my dad (he's a doctor) if you fake burp too much you will have real burps more often in later life. (like at that job interview for instance)

Wow, I cannot fake burp actually, I pretty weird like that.
Air can also be released from the esophagus, not just the stomach.
