5 Is Not Enough

Yeah, we all taste the fermented wort (uncarbonated beer) when racking and bottling, but at what point do you step back and accept the fact that you just *DRANK* a fairly large amount of green, unprimed beer complete with floating trub/sediment.
I guess for me it was when I filled my empty mug after racking, because - well, it was just tasting THAT GOOD... (well maybe it was the 6HBs Id had before that, but it really was going down SMOOTH).
I've heard rumors that ingesting excessive amounts of yeast sediment can cause some stomach problems, flatulence... I've read a few threads indicating probably more of a complex sugars issue, but anybody have any insight? (of course I could probably just fill my mug at the beginning of the racking instead of the end.
