So what's the longest you've played a game in one sitting?

72 hour LAN party involving Quake 2. I don't remember the amount of Dr. Pepper consumed, but it cost me upwards of $75 in 1999. And I won 3rd place in a 64 player DM, took home a nice video card from it that I didn't need at the time.
It was considered an "Ironman" tournament, and I have no rightful clue how in the fuck I was able to play that long aside from piss breaks and in-between match stretches.
Edit: No drugs involved, and no stimulants other than caffeine which doesn't affect me since I was weaned on Pepsi.

Probably Killing floor to be honest. I played it for about 8 hours.
Killing floor is so addictive, especially that MLP related server I used to go on before everyone quit.

I don't have exact numbers but it's probably WoW during summer 2006. I was still leveling my first character so everything was new and fun. I was pretty much alone at home for a few weeks before University started and had nothing to do, so as I recall I pretty much played WoW the whole time. I must have dome some 10ish hours a day at some point, though obviously I did get up for bathroom and food once in a while.
I'm guessing about 12 hours at most with Halo 3 back when it could make me interested. Damn those were the good ol' days. Now I can't play a whole lot of games past two weeks without getting bored of them.
Longest straight-through session I ever did was on Freelancer; me and a coursemate got back from 9-6 lectures, grabbed food, logged in about 7pm and it was 8am before we realised the time, and had lectures at 9 again.
I'd downed 6 beers and a bottle of chilli vodka over the course of the session as well, needless to say the next day was a bit Tarantino.

Once I played around 12 hours of KotOR and that was just fantastic. Haven't done anything like that in a years.
5 hours straight on Terraria when I first got it, similar thing with Minecraft in the early sessions. With more plot driven games, about 6 hours on Assassin's Creed II and about the same with Brotherhood.
I played Fallout New Vegas for about 8 hours one day, but I did stop in the middle to eat, so that doesn't really count.
CoD, Battlefield, Halo, and FPS can't really last more than a couple of hours, and only then when playing with friends

I think it was 16 hours straight doing a 100% completion of the first Spyro the Dragon in one sitting.
Thankfully I have cut the time it takes for me to complete that game down to about 5 and 3/4 hours.

Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater, I was still in high school so I decided to skip the rest of the week my parents were away on vacation anyways 
I don't know how long I went without sleep but when I went back to school I had finished the game twice gotten the stealth camo, grown a beard, was hospitalized for deprivation of sleep and food It was AWESOME!!!... at the time, I wouldn't do it again though

Half-Life 2.
16 hours, with a lunch break and a good bunch of cigarette/toilet breaks. But I did finish the game in one sitting.
Heavy Rain
I'd say 12-14 hours. Got up early in the morning (9am), went to get the game, bought some food on the way and came back home to play it.
Monkey Island 1-4
I have no idea how long it took, but my friend and me actually finished all Monkey Island games (back then) on one sitting.

I played Final Fantasy X for almost 48 hours straight. At the time I was renting the game, and didn't have a memory card on my PS2. Managed to get all the way to the Al Bhed Home without turning off the machine...
