Deuterium and Heavy Water
The hydrogen atom usually consists of a nucleus of single proton and its electron. There is an form of hydrogen called deuterium which has a proton and a neutron in its nucleus. Deuterium exists naturally, however only in a very small amount. All around us, only 0.015% of hydrogen atoms are deuterium. As the proton and neutron are almost equal in weight, the deuterium atom weighs about twice as much as the hydrogen atom. One often refers to the deuterium nucleus as a deuteron.
Water molecules are composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom (H2O). If the hydrogen atoms of a water molecule are replaced by deuterium atoms, the result is heavy water (D2O).
An oxygen atom is about 16 times heavier than a hydrogen atom. So a water molecule is about 16+1+1=18 times heavier than a hydrogen atom, and a heavy water molecule is 16+2+2=20 times heavier than a hydrogen atom. In other words, heavy water is 20/18=1.11 times heavier than ordinary water.

If you mean actually use your head and think.....oh god it must hurt you to do so.
Anyways, biteme is right...its a measure of volume.
But the point is mute b/c the density of water is 1000g/m^3(Or 1Kg/m^3 which is more widely used).
That being (1L = 1000ml = 1m^3) = 1000g
And a Gallon is 3.78L or 3780ml.
1 pound(metric) = 0.454Kg or 454g or 454ml
1 PINT(UK) = 568ml
1 PINT(US) = 470ml
There are differences in US and EU measuring units. Hence why a lot of screw-ups happen in engineering sometimes.
The EU metric system is MUCH, MUCH simpler and easier to use.
Anyways, if you guys say you drink on average 2-2.5 gallons/day, I think you're a bit off.
Thats 7.56 + 1.92 = (7.56 - 9.48)L/day
Nobody drinks that much.
I'd estimate more like 1-1.5 Gallons/day, or (3.78 - 5.67)L/day
= (3780ml - 5670ml)/day
That would be a better approx. of what a person who does strenous activity drinks per day.

I think you missed the punch line...but thats OK.
Its blistering hot were i am.

Well, at first I though you meant that my ass could fill an entire zip code - but since it can't - I guess I am just clueless.
Must be that brain function - thang....

My bad then...you got it....lol
Its just a well known "You're so fat....blah, blah, blah.." jokes.
There are literally 1000's. One guy at my university has a book with all of them. Some of them are ridiculously funny.

This thread took a left turn towards gayness but anyway I hit up at least 2 gallons daily.
If out and about, doing alot of talking etc than like fucking 2.5 min

Yeah but you still have to subtract 2.54 cm (=inch). Europeans lie as much as Americans.

Well....go live on the equator. You'll be a full cm taller....lol
Less gravity there. You're closer to the Earths Center of mass.
Gravity is related to your mass M and the earths Mass(M2), by (1/R^2), where r is the radius of the planet(At the point you're standing)
At the tip of Mt. Everest.........it must be like doing lunges with 100-lb dumbells...lol(Gravity is highest here)

Several yrs ago I worked at an aluminum smelter, very hot and heavy work, the pots ran an avg. of 1200 F and in the summer guys would dehydrate and be carried out to the ambulance on stretchers
The guys on light duty (injured) would mix gatorade allday and if you did'nt drink 5 gallons of fluid daily you would wake up in the middle of the night with some serious cramps (charlies)
The nice part about it was, you could wake up with a serious hangover and knock back a six pack on the way to work and as long as you could avoid the supervisor for half an hour you could sweat out your buzz and the hang over
yeah, those were the days

Gallon is a volume measurement. A gallon of water weighs more than a gallon of ice cream.
Try it!
Try it!
If the mensa crowd could step away from the need to prove their intelligence, they would realize that the whole purpose of this thread was something comical - something funny to think about while you chug down enough water to make others feel like they were to float away; then to think about what all that water could weigh.

You are in dire need of some Neurogenix......
LOL

And lol@mensa crowd There was only 1 guy in Mensa here...that was happyscrappy. Its a strictly US thing. Europe doesn't have those type of organizations. Its part of the US super-competitiveness OMG! I'm better than everybody approach to everything. In Europe we could care less.

To answer the original ? I drink 8 whopping pounds of water a day! That is wild I never even thought about it. I also pee a lot.

I think Velvett is a wee bit pissed off now.........
I'm in an uber good mood......5 days Uni OVER.
3 weeks vacation.
And the line is:
"There is a fine line between genius and lunacy"

Nah....
Thanks for the correction.
Always good to learn as not to make the same mistake twice.
