I vote that the US should adopt the metric system and then we wouldn't have all this tom-foolery.
Close enough. But it's not the weight (avoirdupois) ounces that are different; it's the fluid ounces that vary between US and Imperial. An Imperial fluid ounce weighs 1 ounce avoirdupois to several decimal places.Since a gallon(US) of water (128 Fluid oz.) weighs about 8 pounds (within 4%, close enough for government work, or humping a 6 gallon case - ~ 50 lbs of bottled water) an ounce of water weighs roughly 1 oz.(US)
That's for an ounce of weight, not a fluid ounce.
Of water.
You are corect, of course.Of water.

I try to keep my weight down to that of one full US beer barrel filled with water (31 gallons).I vote that the US should adopt the metric system and then we wouldn't have all this tom-foolery.

Tough to do when one enjoys a wide variety of foods and has a spouse that thinks 4 ounces of dry pasta is a starvation ration. I've cut way back from my years-ago 7 ounces and it's looking like I'll have to cut all the way back to 2 ounces before achieving any weight loss.Yeah, me too.
