Hi, there!
If I have a question with an answer like this:
How long will it take to drink a beer?
It will take about 5 minutes to drink it.
May I use "be going to" instead of "will"?
Is this below example correct?
How long is it going to take to drink a beer?
It's going to take 5 minutes to drink it
If I change these sentences above, adding "you", may I use these structures?
How long is it going to take you to drink a beer?
It is going to take me 5 minutes to drink a beer.
Thanks in advance!
I'd appreciate your help!

All of these sentences are grammatically correct.đ
Of course, as you must obviously know, in natural conversation you would never answer in this way...
You would simply say something like: "...about 5 minutes..."

Yes đđ» Grammatically is correct. However, to have a clear idea đĄ about both so âwillâ: used for formal or informal that is unplanned and âgoing toâ used for informal planned so in this situation at it seems more casual you can use â going toâ
How long is it going to take to drink a beer?
About 5 minutes ( as is the informal situation and as a short answer since English especially American accent is about to make it easy )
I hope my answer light đĄ up your question.
Thanks & wish you the best đ in your learning
Have a great journey âïžđ«đ

yes!! You can use gonna instead of âgoing toâ if you want to sound more casual too.
