How long will it take us to drink a pool full of water?

[BarbaraJean]

One thing that all health professionals and weight loss experts agree on is that is vitally important for us to drink plenty of water.

So to encourage each other to drink your water daily I'm starting this thread to challenge us to drink as much water as my pool holds. I have a 24' Round Pool 48" deep. So we'll figure a 42" Water depth giving us 11,897 gallons or 1,522,816 ounces.

So keep a record of how many ounces of water you drink and post it here adding it to the previous posters total. Add only water, not coffee, tea, soda, juice, etc. Let's see how long it will take us to drink all the water in my pool.

Please post in ounces!

Hahaha

Put me down for 0.6 gallon today.

Only 11,896.4 to go!

 

[BarbaraJean]

Thanks for starting us out. I've converted your .6 gallons to ounces. If anybody needs to convert another measurement to ounces you can do so here http://www.easysurf.cc/cnver13.htm#gtofo1

76.8

 

[Oblivious]

I drink about 30 oz of water a day. If I drank anymore, I would be fired from my job for spending too much time in the restroom. :o

 

[BarbaraJean]

So if you drank 30 ounces today add it to retooferab's 76.8 ounces giving us

106.8 ounces

 

[RMB62]

I have got 48 ounces down so far. Will update at the end of the day. So that gives us

154.8 ounces

 

[JiveTurkey]

add 32 more ounces

 

[BarbaraJean]

186.8



It will make it easier if everybody posts the ounces you drink and then go ahead and add it to the previous poster and post the total like RMB did.

I drink alot of coffee which is a strong diuretic and hence should count as negative water intact. So subtract 18 ounces from that total today... err^wait... I'm reaching for another cup of coffee.... give me a second.

Taker easy people... and drink WATER

67.6 ounces so far today. So, with the 186.8 that's 254.4, though someone may want to check that, seeing how I am rotten at math.

 

[BarbaraJean]

88 ounces for me

342.4

 

[fitmom]

Yuck! Fitmom is bad today! Only about 500 ml. Usually I drink about 2 L. Think I will go drink some water. I did have 2 decafs and a glass of spring water mixed with pure OJ, not from concentrate. But this thread is about WATER. Going to the kitchen now............

 

[freespirit2001]

Does taking spring water then adding it to fruit juice then drinking the water MIXED WITH FRUIT JUICE still count as the water you allow for drinking in this post?
If so---I'll be adding a quart of water a day to this post....

Add a quart of water tonight for me if this is OK with you!!

 

[BarbaraJean]

Hmmmm... sorry just water.

 

[freespirit2001]

I'll have to check to see if I have any spring water left...

 

[retooferab]

OK, I'm taking a wild guess that fitmom guzzled only about 17 ounces?
fitmom, you better drink more water or change your name!

So, I'm adding the 342.4 + 17 + 96 for me = 455.4 ounces.

Wow, I think I'm fed up with water!

Remember Ivan? After tearing up Alabama and Florida, it skuttled up the east coast, turned and went through Florida (enough already!), then plowed through the Carribean and hit Houston. THEN one of its branches hit WEST TEXAS. We had days and days of rain at the end of September. My sunken living room started filling with water!

But I'm happy to report that I FINALLY have steam-cleaned hurricane Ivan out of my living room and put the room back together again. I'm going to put a sign up over my piano: "Ivan was here."

So much for pools of water. Yuck!

But I guess you're talking about drinking water. Count me in for 32 ounces today, and may I never have another visit from the aftermath of a hurricane!

32 + 455.5 = 487.5

 

[Daughter of His]

40 for me yesterday, I forgot to post.

487.5 + 40= 527.5

 

[BarbaraJean]

64 ounces today

591.5

 

[Daughter of His]

48 oz here

591.5 + 48 = 639.5 oz We're just shy of 5 gallons...long way to go.
