I drink about 1 gallon (3.78L) of water a day. 1 gallon of water weighs 8 pounds, does this mean I'm getting 8 pounds heavier after drinking. I understand you lose the water through pee and sweat but am I gaining 8 pounds just from the water drinking?

The fact that you are asking this question indicates that you do not, in fact, understand that you lose the water through pee and sweat.
I know you lose the water through pee and swear 😭. What I’m asking is when I drink water am I actually 8 pounds heavier supposing that I haven’t went for a pee or sweat the water out during that time.
Just asking because my buddy said I don’t gain 8 pounds if I chugged the whole water bottle whereas i think if I chugged it I would be 8 pounds heavier.
2. Then weigh yourself holding a quart of water. The weight had better go up by about 2 pounds.
3. Drink the quart of water and weigh yourself again. If you get a different weight than in #2, either your scale is broken or you're about to be famous as someone who has disproved fundamental physics.
4. Don't eat or drink anything for several hours, and pee as much as you like. Your weight will be lower than is was in #3.
Stand on a scale. Then stand on a scale holding the gallon of water. The scale should read 8 lbs heavier + negligible container weight.
Remaining on the scale, drink the gallon of water. If you don’t spill any, I’ll hypothesize that your scale readout is still 8 lbs heavier than the initial reading.
I’m pretty sure matter is neither created nor destroyed, and it will take you a lot of time to lose measurable water via respiration or sweat evaporation in normal temperatures.

You also lose 300-400 ml per day of water through respiration alone, so even if you do nothing at all, you are constantly breathing out water vapor along with CO2 and losing weight in the process.
You can drink less water, but mix it with V8 or anything with a bit of sodium and the water will hold better. I don't get transfixed with numbers on a scale. I look at my body, it looks good, drink away!

I hate water weight making me heavier. I make myself throw up if I don’t pee pretty soon after I drink water. Especially on a tempo run day
When I was a stupid teenager I had to get weighed and for some reason it benefitted me to be heavier than I was. I don't remember the details.
I started drinking tons of water in the hour or so before leaving to get weighed. I was actually going into the bathroom to do it secretly so nobody would ask questions.
Everything seemed to be fine until all of a sudden I felt very sick. It was like throwing up only worse than that. I remember bending over and feeling panicked.
Fortunately I came out of it. Not until much later did I learn that drinking too much water in a short period of time can cause physical problems or in rare occasions be fatal.

One time I bet a friend to see who could gain the most weight in an hour and I just chugged water and ate saltines and managed to gain 14 pounds in 1 hour.
I have never pissed more than that evening. I barely slept. Pretty sure this is pretty dangerous so would not recommend others doing this but I won the bet (he just ate pizza and gained a few pounds).
