Let’s get silly. 70 ounces of water is roughly the same volume as two standard wine bottles. Imagine carrying two bottles of wine everywhere, but instead of a fun buzz, you just feel bloated and virtuous.
It’s also about the weight of a small bowling ball (about 4.4 pounds). So you’re literally carrying the weight of a bowling ball through your day, just in liquid form. No wonder your backpack feels heavy.
One time, I decided to "hit my goal" during a movie. I thought, "I’ll just drink during the previews." Big mistake. I spent the entire third act of the movie praying the credits would roll so I could sprint to the lobby. I missed the plot twist.
When 70 Ounces Makes You Feel Like a Fish
There’s a psychological moment around 60 ounces where you feel too wet. Your fingers might get puffy. You start listening to your own stomach slosh when you walk. It’s a weird, aquatic feeling—like a human water balloon with legs.
If you manage to finish the whole 70 ounces, you don’t feel proud. You feel like you just completed a marathon for your kidneys. You look at the empty bottle like a war trophy. "Yeah, I did that." And then you immediately need to go to the bathroom again.
The next day, your body sends you a thank-you note, but it’s written in the language of clearer skin and less headache. Still, the memory of that sloshing stomach lingers.
