That's the most utterly ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Gasoline will quickly cause liver and kidney damage, and more than a small amount is poisonous to humans (think hydrocarbons).
It will also cause damage to the linings of the mouth, throat, esophagus, stomach, and intestines. If gasoline gets into the lungs (aspiration), serious and possibly permanent lung damage can occur.
But if you really think it's "not that bad" I invite you to knock back a few glass fulls and then tell us how you feel afterwards. Assuming you survive the experience.
I knew someone was going to freak out. Notice where I said "I'm not saying it's good"? Well I did! I know it's bad. But generally when you think drinking gas you think "instant death". But it could take years, like this chick.

Just because it's a solvent doesn't mean it dissolves you... Water is a solvent. In fact motor oil is too.
