How much liquid does the average man produce in a lifetime

The amount of liquid a person produces in a lifetime can vary widely depending on various factors, including age, health, diet, and individual physiology. However, I can provide a rough estimate based on certain bodily fluids that the average person produces throughout their life.

The average man produces in a lifetime 35,990 liters of urine (42.7%); 25,977 liters of saliva (30,8%); 16,236 liters of sweat (19,3%); 5,954 liters of tears (7,1%). and 81,5 liters of sperm (0,1%).

Below is a fascinating infographic created by Presium.pro shows how much liquid the average man produces in a lifetime.


With a human life expectancy of 75-80 years, these numbers would look as follows:

  • Saliva: On average, a person produces about 1 to 1.5 liters (approximately 34 to 51 fluid ounces) of saliva per day. Over a typical lifespan of around 75 to 80 years, this could add up to roughly 27,375 to 43,800 liters (about 7,233 to 11,569 gallons) of saliva.
  • Urine: An adult urinates about 1 to 2 liters (approximately 34 to 68 fluid ounces) of urine per day. Over a lifetime, this could amount to approximately 82,125 to 164,250 liters (about 21,660 to 43,350 gallons) of urine.
  • Tears: Tears are produced in smaller quantities compared to saliva and urine. On average, a person might produce around 0.5 to 1.2 liters (approximately 17 to 41 fluid ounces) of tears per year. Over a lifetime, this could add up to roughly 37.5 to 90 liters (about 9.9 to 23.8 gallons) of tears.
  • Sweat: The amount of sweat produced varies widely based on activity levels, environmental conditions, and personal factors. On average, a person might produce around 0.5 to 2 liters (approximately 17 to 68 fluid ounces) of sweat per day. Over a lifetime, this could amount to approximately 136,875 to 547,500 liters (about 36,125 to 144,492 gallons) of sweat.

How Long Does Plastic Take to Decompose?

  Plastic: the unwelcome house guest at nearly every corner of our lives — from shopping bags to footwear, coffee cups to car parts. And yet, discarded, plastic doesn't just evaporate into thin air. No, it lingers. For decades. Even centuries. According to statistics presented by Visual Capitalist , plastic daily consumer goods can break down between 20 and 600 years, depending on the composition used, how they were created, and natural elements like water and sunlight they are exposed to. Let's go deeper into why plastic takes so long to break down — and what horrid messes it leaves behind in the process. Why Plastic Isn't "Natural" — and Why That's a Problem Plastic does not naturally exist. It's a product made from petroleum and natural gas. Its long, tough carbon bonds differ from anything naturally found in ecosystems, making it extremely resistant to microbial breakdown. When we toss a plastic bottle or bag away, it's not a matter of if it will s...

Fallingwater: Where Architecture Meets the Wild

 Located in southwestern Pennsylvania's woods, Fallingwater is not a house, but a powerful conversation between nature and architecture. Completed in 1935 by Frank Lloyd Wright for the Kaufmanns, it's one of the only buildings that truly does seem alive—as if it grew directly out of the rock. What is so revolutionary about Fallingwater isn't its appearance—it's Wright's philosophy of organic architecture: the idea that houses are there to harmonize with nature, not dominate it. The house was actually constructed into the land, resting directly above a waterfall on Bear Run. Instead of looking out over the waterfall, Wright built the waterfall into the house, and the sound of running water is therefore a constant companion. Crafted From the Land, For the Land The materials used to build Fallingwater tell their own story. The stone was quarried on-site. Local craftsmen helped shape every contour. The horizontal lines of the cantilevered terraces echo the layered rock...
