This Calif. newspaper reporter wrote an article re some people suing a
radio station after they were supposedly traumatized by drinking too
much water in a stupid how-much-water-can-you-drink-without-peeing contest.

Mr. Stanton,
You had an interesting article on this August 10. My reaction was
"give me a break!"
But I write about the statement that "Once intake of water is greater
than 20.3 ounces of water, the water will start to dilute
electrolytes...." What you really mean, and I am sure the original
source stated, was that it is 600 mL of water. I sure can't visualize
20.3 ounces, but we all can visualize 600 mL given the ubiquity of 500
mL and 1 L water bottles, 750 mL wine bottles, etc. Why not tell it
like it is and skip the confusing and unnecessary conversion?
