Rating of hot chilli with each drink

The first chilli I did was without water and I am scoring it a 10 for burning. (Dying from the chilli)

    

Second Chilli with water(After Drink)

Chilli was still lingering on tounge and basically made it worse. (Water tasted disgusting)`I still rate it 10 for burning.

Milk /10

Fourth chilli was 4/10 Milk fat cooling down the hottness and helping feel better. Dairy keeps you feeling better.
