Answer:

51gallons or 406pints,

Step-by-step explanation:

It will take me 203 hours as per above-mentioned speed to cover up a distance of 5900 km or 3666 miles. so if I drink 4th part of 1gallon(means 2pints) every hour then after 203 hours I'll consume approximately 51 gallons of both the water and the energy drink.
