Generally when someone feels 'full' their stomach will have a volume of approx. 1.5 litres. However, due to the structure of the stomach it is possible to distend it to contain 4 litres, however this would cause trouble with respiration, would be extremly unhealthy and is based off of an 'average' study, different people will have slightly different maximum volumes.

∙ 13y agoMost commonly a stomach can hold up to 1.5 liters of water. But the overall holding capacity of the stomach is about 4 to 4.5 liters(food and water). Hence a stomach can expand to accomodate more. However, this process may cause a problem with respiration and could be unhealthy.
