In ounces per day
Hi
An author of a book says that we should drink a lot of water. He says: Drinking at least half your body weight in ounces per day is a great way to help clear out both physical and energetic toxins ...
I'm not sure I understand what he's saying. So how much water am I supposed to drink? Half my body weight?

JohnParisI'm not sure I understand what he's saying. Wow! Neither am I. There must be an error.Can you imagine how much water that would be?If you weigh 150 pounds, half would be 75. If there are 16 ounces to a pound, then his advice would be to drink 1,200 ounces per day (9.375 gallons or 35.48 liters).That's why I asked. I thought that I didn't understand so

The witer meant that you should take the number part of half your weight and drink that many ounces. A 200-pound man would drink 100 ounces a day, or about three quarts. I guess if you use the metric system, you're on your own.

Good catch, ennon. That's certainly what the author meant.
But, I would have said something like: A good way to help clear out both physical and energetic toxins would be to divide your body weight in half and drink that number of ounces of water per day.
Or the inverse, which I find awkward: Dividing your body weight in half and drinking that number of ounces of water per day
