How much does water weigh?

This is one of those questions where the answer has never made sense to me. We're supposed to drink all this water. I remember the old days before weigh in at Weight Watchers (which met at lunch time) I wouldn't eat or drink all morning before the weigh in. Here's why...

A gallon of water weighs approximately 8 pounds (8.34 to be exact) and a pint (which is 8oz) of water weighs 1.04375 pounds. So don't you GAIN a pound every time you drink a glass of water? And we're supposed to drink 8 glasses a day?

I realize there are no calories, but WHERE does the WEIGHT go?:think

you pee about as much as you take in because it is constantly recycled. ever notice if you only drink one or two glasses of Water you only pee maybe twice or three times that day? But if you drink a lot then you pee a lot. it just gets recycled. People who are proud of their "water weight" being lost, are unknowingly proud that they are dehydrating themselves. LOL

except for those of us who are getting rid of edema, extra Fluid in the body that is causing harm as opposed to helping.
