    I consider a cup 8 oz. so if your glass holds 12 oz drink two and you have completed 4 cups of water. If it's 16, then you have had one glass of water. Also, I count a regular sized bottle of water as 2. Hope this helps.

    ETA when MFP is counting it's going by 8oz cups, for a total of 64oz of water in a day. that's the general rule of thumb. However, it's been suggested that you drink half your body weight in oz

    Huh? if you have a couple that holds 12oz, and you drink two of those that is 24oz, which = 3 cups. If your cup is 16oz then you have had two glasses of water. You just said as your very first statement that a cup of water is 8oz which is true.

    Water is the only thing I'm not strictly measuring these days. I drink out of litre jars for the most part, and have two to five of them a day. At the end of the day (or sometimes in the middle), I guess at how many times I filled the jar and record it. I'm probably off by a few cups on either side, but not concerned.

    I knew what you meant girl! And I actually have a 1 liter water bottle so I tend to try and just aim for drinking four of those. I never really track my water on here but I might start because of your post! That would give me about 16/17 cups per day!!! :)

    I'm not stupid i understand that a cup is 8 oz. But I didn't know if people actually measured it out or if they counted it as one still when using a normal sized drinking glass which usually holds closer to 12-16oz.

    Thanks for being rude.
    People don't ask questions to be belittled ...

    May I recommend drinking your water from a fine pint glass, then you may imagine that you are enjoying a frosty pint of lager, which I find enhances the experience, especially at work. Cheers!

    Hahaha. Awesome. :drinker:
