my friend seems to think this is true. his example is if u have an amount of liquid that weighed half a stone and filled a balloon with it, the balloon would then weigh that extra half a stone so therefore if we drank that liquid we would weigh that extra half a stone

Only until it is absorbed into the bloodstream...then a transformation will take place which causes 1/2 a pound of chocolate to turn into 5 lbs of fat in the case of the average woman.
Seriously though, only while it's in the stomach. Then the body processes it and most of it passes out of the body, except the unburned calories as aforesaid.

The human body is almost entirely water. If you let yourself get dehydrated it is noticable when you weigh yourself. I heard that Formula1 drivers don't drink much before they race for 2 reasons, firstly they can't stop for a pee & secondly they weigh less so there is less resistance to motion.

Yes because the extra weight would be inside you. Just like the balloon theory, your friend is right.

Only for a while - don't forget the body is a highly sophisticated procesor and can change the constitution of most things you eat and drink.
And of course you sweat, urinate and exhale water vapour in every breath.

it depends on what the liquid consists of, how soon you weighed yourself, your metabolism and things like how prone you are to put on weight due to genes or medication for instance.
so the answer is "not necessarily".

no because we swezt/ pee out most of the liquid...our body only keeps the calories and the minerals from the liquid and so therefore you wouldnt keep any of the weight...same with food you poo most of it out

Presumably - until it came out the other end! Then you'd lose pretty much all of it again.

All these prats are talking about weeing and pooing and minerals. Blaa Blaa Blaa. Jeez, your answer is simple.
YES. You would gain the weight of the fluid until something changed. eg. Sweat or pee.
