8 cups of water.....

So I was wondering, what counts as a cup/glass of water?
I have 2 sizes of glasses in my house, 250ml and 568ml
I tend to take the 250ml to equal 1 glass and the 568ml to equal 2 glasses - and try hard to get to 8 glasses a day
but then I read that a cup of water is a lot less than 250ml.....

Is there a defined quantity of water that equates to 'a cup' or 'a glass'??

    I try to get at least 64 oz of water in a day, and more if I do a vigirous workout. So 1,862 ML It isn't that much really. I had issues getting enough at first but now I just always make sure I have a glass of water ready all the time!
