Will drinking more than 8 oz in an hour of water stretch out my sleeve?

no water flows right into the sleeve and right out the bottom if you fill it to fast you will overflow like a bath tub and vomit

you can not build up enough pressure to hurt your sleeve

that said at first just sip it will be very unconformable to drink to fast

no. nothing you do will stretch out your sleeve. just drink as comfort allows ... and as much as possible in a day.
