The average human in the US weighs on average 155 lbs. If about 70% of our body is water and water weighs 8.35 lbs/gallon. When you do the math it comes out to about 13 gallons.

For most adults, body weight is about 60 to 70 percent water. That equals roughly 10 to 12 gallons (38 to 46 L). Fat tissue is about 20 to 35 percent water whereas muscle tissue is about 75 percent water. Therefore, the total percentage of body weight from water depends on the ratio of fat to lean body tissue. People who have a higher percentage of lean tissue have a higher percentage of water weight. Men typically have a higher percentage of lean tissue and, thereby, a higher percentage of water weight than women. Younger people usually have a higher percentage of lean tissue and water weight than older people.
