So whilst the imperial gallon, quart, pint and gill are about 20% larger than are their US fluid measure counterparts, the fluid ounce is about 4% smaller. [ e ] One avoirdupois ounce of water has an approximate volume of one imperial fluid ounce at 62 °F (16.67 °C).
“Half your body weight in ounces is a great starting point,” she says. “So for someone who’s 200 pounds, our first goal would be 100 ounces. And let's say they're only drinking 20 ounces ...
