You certainly wouldn't regret it for long

Fun fact: acetone is not even that toxic. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't hurt much more than ethanol.

Remember kids, everything in moderation. You wouldn't drink 8l of anything

Edit: if you think of drinking acetone based only on my comment, try drinking bleach first! I'm pretty sure it'll fuck you much more than ethanol.

Let’s do none of these kids. This message brought to you by the number “don’t be a fucking stupid” and the CIA. Remember kids, I can’t start foreign wars for oil if I don’t have soldiers!

Remember kids, CIA doesn't want you to drink acetone!

The FDA does though.

I was so dehydrated yesterday that I felt like I drank 8L of water. I know it was closer to 2 but god damn it was so good I had to stop myself to breathe half way through.

Be careful doing that. It takes a fair bit of water, but Water Intoxication is a real thing. It can make you quite ill and even be fatal.

Drinking too much water dilutes your blood and decreases the electrolytes in your body, especially sodium (hyponatremia). As a result, water moves into your body’s cells and causes them to swell. When you get too much water in your brain cells, it increases pressure on your brain and affects how it works. This leads to changes in your awareness, movement and behavior (altered mental status). Water intoxication is also potentially fatal.

...

The amount of water that causes overhydration varies. It’s important to understand how your body uses water to know how much is too much for you. Your body removes excess water through your pee. In a day, this equals about 32 to 64 ounces (about 1 to 2 liters). In some people, water intoxication symptoms can develop after drinking about a gallon (3 to 4 liters) of water over an hour or two.
