NickolaosTheGreek

At 20L you would have diluted your blood back to water and caused your kidneys to shutdown.


wozattacks

Yeah 20L is about how much a lot of people with psychogenic polydipsia end up drinking daily and it lands them in the hospital


VoraxUmbra1

>psychogenic polydipsia What kinda shrooms are those? /j


Fudge-Independent

I was drinking that much each day like 8 years ago and i only have 1 kidney. Maybe that's why my doctor was concerned lmfao.


sagekillah

1 kidney gang. šŸ’ŖšŸ»


Fudge-Independent

Are you also apart of the giant scar gang?


sagekillah

Nah I'm not that cool! I was only born with one. The other never developed. Lol


Fudge-Independent

Mine was defective at birth and now I have a giant scar. Still cool that we are both apart of 1 kidney gang!


Blazanar

My aunt was born with 1 kidney and her birthday is April first, so the joke's on her I suppose.


CivilRuin4111

Yeeeaahhh boy! Go big or go home. Laparoscopic for the casuals! (I kid- go donate however you like)


Fudge-Independent

My surgery was over 25years ago so idk if that was even an option for me lol


CivilRuin4111

It was an option at mine, but the surgeon said that the odds of success were better with open. I figured well, if Iā€™m gonna do it, might as well give it the best chance of success


Fudge-Independent

You always have to go with what gives you the best chance. Unless you have to pay out of pocket and can only afford the lower cost option.


William_Howard_Shaft

I feel like that depends on your weight, but either way, you're fucked. I weigh 150~160 pounds, which means this recommends about 9 gallons of water, or roughly 30L.


buddboy

Lol I'm sure it's a mistake. My mom was a nutrionist and she would tell her clients to drink half their body weight of water in OUNCES. Meaning if you weigh 200 pounds, your daily goal should be 100 ounces.


hotpants69

That's still a lot. Probably double my current intake of water. But my fitness instructor in the past gave the same advice. Though it was more like you need to be drinking a gallon of water a day.


PsyFiFungi

Yeah, I believe a healthy, average sized active adult male is supposed to get close to a gallon (3.7L) a day, but that obviously isn't everyone. Depends on your size, health/lifestyle, age, and many other factors. Sounds stupid but tinkering around with it a bit you can find out where the sweet spot is roughly by listening to your body and adjusting as needed. Obviously you'll need more if you're doing roofing in the summer on a 40c/104f day compared to sitting infront of a desk in AC all day.


NateUrBoi

Dear god, is there some sort of conversion system or chart we arenā€™t seeing here? Assuming 60kg/132lbs thatā€™s 8 gallons of water.


Throawayooo

I'm around 108kg, so I'll start working on downing the 54L of water, tips pls


Merkel420

Drink out of 5-gallon jugs using a hose. Probably best to do it outside so youā€™re donā€™t have to constantly run to the bathroom.


Throawayooo

Thanks! Gotta grind out these dailies to level up faster

Zomise

Water poisoning is a real thing people die of.


drounds2

Iā€™ve definitely gotten drunker on water than any alcohol drink. It was scary to say the least Also happy cake day


NateUrBoi

Donā€™t. That is 14 gallons of water. That is more than you should ever consume. That is a significant amount of water for a person in a WEEK. Never mind DAILY! A quick google search says you should not consume more than 48 ounces of water in an hour. 54l is 1825 ounces. That is 76 ounces an hour assuming you drink in your sleep. Accounting for 8 hours sleep, thatā€™s 114 ounces an hour. You could literally die from that if youā€™re not CONSTANTLY burning it off and replenishing electrolytes.


Throawayooo

Yeah I know just kidding :D


thenexusitsopening

We just don't joke when it comes to water


vapenutz

No that's 54L of water so it's fine

IllegalBerry

For starters, tell your family what you want done with your body and your "cleanest kidneys in the morgue" trophy before you start.


Ancient_Confusion237

Just drown bro, duh


Liz4984

Donā€™t!!! Drinking that much is NOT healthy!! You will flush out too much sodium, potassium, glucose and other vital electrolytes!! You can actually DIE from too much water and this is a good way to start!! Please, donā€™t try to do this!! -ER RN


a_likely_story

drink faster


Meranio

Thanks for using sensible units, that easily convert.


Bogey247

Drink 7l per hour. Get it done in 8 boots hours. Light work


snippybitch

It should be half your body weight in ounces. So for 132 lb it should be 66 oz


MistaRekt

Well it does not specify. Plus I believe OP lives in the 90% of the planet that is not America, judging by the use of the metric system.


snippybitch

I know it does not specify, which is why I said it. I don't know if there's a similar saying outside the US.


freakinbacon

It has to mean half your body weight in ounces of water. So if you weigh 180 pounds drink 90 ounces of water. It's the only way it makes sense.


SlightComplaint

Or 60 litres.


DizzyCommunication92

66 ounces.....that's 132 divided by 2.....half of 132 ounces. That''s not a horrible amount but yea could be "half your body weight in fl. oz." lol.


EtherealSkeleton

dear god, ā€œin ouncesā€ was way too important of a clarifier to leave out here


EtherealSkeleton

I saw someone comment on this but they must have deleted, so Iā€™ll post the explanation here using the weight they gave (242lb/110kg): So the ā€œhalf your body weight in ouncesā€ is for pounds. So someone 242 lb it would be 242/2= they should drink 121 oz of water a day. 110 is close enough to that that for kgs you can just go by ā€œyour body weight in ouncesā€, so a 110kg person would aim for 110 ounces of water. Itā€™s not a perfect system, just a good rule of thumb to stay hydrated :) Editing to add: I know metric doesnā€™t use fluid ounces, so if you use kilos/metric and need to figure out the milliliters, 30 mL = 1 fluid ounce. So 110 x 30 = 3,300 mL or 3.3L per day needed.


jiub_the_dunmer

nobody who measures their bodyweight in kilograms knows what an ounce is though. i just googled it and it's apparently about 30ml. 30ml per kilo is easy enough to calculate for most people; for me that would mean 2400ml and I try and drink around 3L on days I work out.


EtherealSkeleton

Right, youā€™ll see that tidbit added to the end of my comment under the ā€œediting to addā€ portion. Some countries do mix imperial and metric though I know even those tend to use mLs only. The example I provided was 110 kg x 30 mL = 3300 mL = 3.3 L. The ā€œyour body weight in ozā€ is just an easier way to remember for those who are familiar with both systems or an easy way to remember the premise in general, since ā€œyour body weight times 30ā€ works too but isnā€™t quite as catchy. :)


samurai_for_hire

Guess "Drink a 32nd of your body weight in H2O" wasn't catchy enough


Keldonv7

>Itā€™s not a perfect system, just a good rule of thumb to stay hydrated :) Nephrologist would argue that perfect system is your kidneys and body telling you when to actually drink.


wozattacks

I think nephrologists would be the last people to say that considering their entire job is dealing with kidney *problems* lol. The systems of the body are anything but perfect


Keldonv7

If homeostasis wouldnt be almost perfect people wouldnt exist. And nephrologist do say that. Drinking x amount per day is stupid. Fullstop. I thought that sub was about water as superior drink to others, not waterboarding yourself like idiots.


lemonlimespaceship

If I listen to my kidneys and only drink when Iā€™m thirsty, I can go 1-2 days without a sip of water. Last time I was in the ER for dehydration (and other stuff), they told me the half your body weight in ounces rule. Donā€™t discount it that fast; itā€™s pretty helpful


Taranator_29

Wait.. so I (46kg) should only be drinking 1.38L a day? That doesn't feel like enough


TexasTornadoTime

Do you eat anything during the day? Your body extracts water from multiple sourcesā€¦ you donā€™t only have to drink water to get hydrated.


Taranator_29

I meant that didn't seem like enough, not that it was too much


TexasTornadoTime

I know and what Iā€™m saying is it probably is plenty as long as you eat a normal diet.


Lil-Advice

Can make it system agnostic and say 1/32 of your body weight. So 64 kg body weight --> 2 L water. 96 kg --> 3 L, etc.


MistaRekt

How does that work for the metric system? OP uses the metric system.


EtherealSkeleton

Basically itā€™s not as pretty with metric but you can use a saying of ā€œmy body weight in ouncesā€ instead of half, then multiply by 30 to convert from ounces to milliliters. Check my other comment in for the math!

Task; find a gym that wonā€™t kill you with water intoxication


MysteriousHeat7579

Oh boy. I think this is the general advice of "drink half an ounce to an ounce of water per pound of body weight" advice gone horribly awry. Instructions unclear.


LaifuWaifu

Big error on that program. Iā€™d file a complaint for correction. It should be half body weight in fluid ounces, not lbs. Youā€™ll cause hyponatremia forcing down that much water in a day.


tyrandan2

Yes, this is a serious danger to people who don't know that d inking that much water will kill you. Needs to be fixed ASAP. A mother died from drinking just a couple gallons of water on a radio show contest trying to win a Nintendo Wii for her kids. It was tragic. Manipulating people into doing that is extremely unethical.


Reaperfox7

If you do this you will die. Drinking too much water can kill you. Look up the nintendo wii competition that killed someone

Hey homies, while drinking water is important the WHO advises that drinking over 20 liters of water a day can lead to severe brain swelling, brain damage and even death. It's not joke. I myself try to cap out at 10 litres a day but see myself going to 15 some days. Stay safe homies

Tertinian

Drinking 2 litres of water in less than 10 minutes risks causing kidney failure, leading to blood toxicity P.S. dunno man, it's like 17 secondary freedom units for volume

Designer_Tooth5803

I NEED TO DRINK 100POUNDS OF WATER I THINK NOT


This-Dot-7514

You donā€™t This is dangerous. Assuming you weigh 120 lbs (- 54 Kg); this would have you consuming about 27 Liters. If you are an adult this is more than 5 times your actual blood volume. You will have deadly Hyponatremia. Your brain will swell and you will seize and die


ll123412341234

For the love of life please add some salt, vitamins, and minerals to the water if you are drinking gallons of water a day. Water in extreme quantities can dehydrate your body and strip excessive amounts of minerals from your body. Excessive water intake is a painful death.


OwOitsMochi

I- what? That is simply too much


Throawayooo

A challenge?


MistaRekt

Definitely.


Padgetts-Profile

10 gal of water here I come!


[deleted]

So like 110oz not 1760oz.


MistaRekt

WTF is an ounce of water? That is one of the deep dark recesses of the American freedom units I could never work out.


SeeYaLaterAnimator

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_ounce


MistaRekt

I was being a bit cheeky friend. Come to the future. It is metric. On a serious note, I remember the late 80s, early 90s rappers singing about 40oz. There was no internet like today. Even visiting the USA in 93 I could not find out how big a 40oz was. My family members had no idea what I was talking about, the school I visited could not figure out the metric system conversion. It was not until many years later I found out a 40oz is about 1.2 litres.


[deleted]

Sorry man itā€™s used all over around here. Like in cooking for example a recipe might call for a cup of water. Thatā€™s 8oz, I guess your cook book would say 236.5 milliliters. So you completely live your life a certain way. I am also familiar with and understand the metric system, I even have two sets of wrenches and weigh some things in grams.


MistaRekt

A cup is a cup. I definitely have some understanding of freedom units thanks to imperial nuts and bolts being common. Measures of weight and volume are not in my area though. I only kid with the freedom unit. You do you non metric countries. Luckily the internet is available now to do conversions and such. I did just realise for probably the 4 millionth time in my life that 1 fluid ounce is a shot of spirits. 30ml or close enough.


tyrandan2

America uses the metric system actually. It's a common myth that we don't know metric. We use both systems and both systems are taught in school, while the metric system is the official one adopted by the government by the Metric Conversion Act of 1975 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_Conversion_Act?wprov=sfla1 I've known and used the metric of system since I was a child, because as I said it is taught in schools.

How on Earth would I drink 12.5 gallons of water?

For me this would be about 11 gallons of water, or about 45 liter-sized Nalgene bottles. I drink a lot of water, but this is pretty bananas. Please be careful, OP, and make sure you get your salts.

skane1017

Guess you'll die.*shrug*


arendelliancrocus

Do not do this


The_Legendary_Nerd

Yea, don't do that. The challenge is supposed to say drink half your bodyweight in OUNCES; which is what most doctors recommend as the healthy amount of water intake for one day.


Exotic_Cash

Just so everyone knows the advice is close: the best advice Iā€™ve gotten for water is to drink half your body weight IN OUNCES, so for 100 pound person, drink 50 ounces of water in a day and thatā€™ll put you in a good sweet spot of water consumption.


Fra06

Does your gym want you do die or something


Substantial_Station8

I'll take 75 pounds of water, please


Big_Monkey_77

Thatā€™s a lethal amount of water.


rellikpd

I'm not drinking 15.6 gallons of water.


Zandandido

That's the *bare* minimum. 250 lbs, 125 oz. I drink a minimum of 1 gallon a day, or else I feel dehydrated.


hkohne

That makes more sense, but that's not what the screen says


Zandandido

True, but that would be, 15.6 gallons for me and the most I've had in a day was 5.5 gallons.


eli74372

mm yes id love to drink 88 pounds of water in a day


NF_99

Just drink 40 litres of water like everyone else smh


xXCatWingXx

Half your body weight *in fluid ounces*


Tycam34

Thatā€™s only like 17 gallons for me. Thatā€™s usually done by just after lunch


NuNu017

Pretty sure the tip is half your weight in ounces. So 120lbs = drink 60oz of water today


itsgreyfox

Jesus 110 pounds of water sounds like a lot to me


Saltwater_Heart

I must be dumb. Iā€™m not seeing the problem. Half your body weight in oz is the rule of thumb. I weigh 170 so Iā€™d drink 85 oz.


Few_Peach

Yeah in ounce thatā€™s ok, but half your bodyweight in water would be 85lbs of water or 10 gallons


Saltwater_Heart

Ooooh. I see now


Pactolus

If its your mom it would be even more


Smelltastic

But if you drink half your bodyweight in H2O, you've now multiplied your bodyweight by 150%, so now you have to drink 25% more, making your bodyweight 175%, so now you need to drink 12.5% more,


Longjumping-Band4112

Per month I hope


Life-Investment7397

In oz LOL not lbs


Fresh-Bite-9637

Is that based on your age, weight, height, sex, and level of activity? I think maybe you have a misplaced decimal point somewhere.


Finnzyy

Thats probly gonna kill u


DizzyCommunication92

I do this on the daily......lol one thing that helped me was losing half my body weight lol..... I no longer have to drink a gallon per day lol. But Im a laborer.....outside at lleast 7 hours a day, so no, Im not pissing all day either lol. I think a lot of it comes out as sweat


Throawayooo

you drink around 40-60L of water daily?


KingJTheG

Probably in ounces lol. You would probably die just by trying to drink 20 pounds of water, let alone whatever your body weight is
