Cup of water?

When it says "drink 8 cups of water a day" how big exactly are these cups of water? As I generally re-fill my 1litre bottle in work about 5/6 times a shift, plus I drink some at home so I'm not sure how to gauge just how much that is in "cups" it's all a bit vague for my liking.

Thanks,
David

    Would like to know this too! Is it the same as the way Americans measure baking things in 'cups'? Never have a clue what that means, surely a cup can be any size...

    I have a 24 oz. water bottle that I use at work and 24 oz. is equal to 3 cups. Hope that helps a little bit. One cup is equal to 8 oz.

    your 1 litre bottle is 4 cups, so you are good!

    ps 1 cup is about 237 ml (often rounded to 250ml for easier converting)

    Yes, in measurement a cup is 8 oz. 64 ounces of water is what the recommended daily intake is. Two liters is 66 ounces so you need just shy of two liters to meet the daily recommended intake.

    Metric cup is 250ml, or 1/4 of a litre
