Not very stable.  Adrenalin (epinephrine) has a half-life in the blood 
of just a few minutes.  It breaks down quickly.  Moreover, it's an amine 
hormone, meaning that it's made of amino acids.  I'm no biochemist but 
I'd expect the protease enzymes in the stomach to break down these 
molecules pretty quickly.
