What harm does drinking a flask of maple syrup in 3 minutes have on your body?

If hypothetically speaking you went to a diner and your friends/co-workers dared you to drink an entire flask of maple syrup for a nice sum of money, what effect does that have on your body - short term and long term?
Anything that can be done to lessen the effects?

Answers:
A sugar rush (so you won't sleep for a little while) and you'll probably feel a little sick after since you just drank a viscous fluid really fast. But, no lasting harm. Don't worry, you won't get diabetes or anything.

Oh, sugar will cause tooth decay - so brush your teeth.

If you want the sugar rush to be over more quickly you can run around for awhile and your body will use that sugar for energy.

I don't know of any issues other than having excess amounts of sugar hit your system at once. If don't routinely, it could result in issues. However, doing it once would probably only be disgusting.
Can you say SUGAR HIGH!!

Drink a LOT of water once you're done.
other than a crazy sugar rush headache and probably cavities if you don't brush your teeth, nothing
It will send your blood sugar skyrocketing, which will make your body send a large amount of insulin to combat this.
You will feel energetic at first, but lousy not too long after.

If you have no health problems like high or low blood sugar, you should recover just fine, but it's a good idea to ask your doctor, who knows you best.
