I guess its an American term but what measurement is a cup of water?
It's only so I log my water intake more accurately to something I can relate to.

Would most say 250ml is a cup?

    I also assume a cup is 250ml.

    If I drink a 2l bottle of water a day, I log that as my 8 cups.

    Try again. 250 ml is considered a metric cup, but 8 ounces does not equal 250.5 ml. Not at all.

    I class my water consumption in 750/800ml glasses. So 8 glasses is 6 litres.

    :wink:

    According to American studies you should drink 2 litres/8 cups of water a day. So 250ml.

    Probably should have specified where you live :P a 'cup' is measured differently in Canada / UK / USA. Just as an aside, due to this difference it's really important that when tracking food you are tracking the right 'size' of cup consistently.
