    1 cup is about 240ml.. pretty much one glass.. I always count my 500ml bottles as 2 cups.

    There is 237ml in 1 cup........so your bottles of water are about 2 cups.

    500 ml = 16.9070114 US fluid ounces

    So... I'd count one bottle as 2 glasses.

    I don't know if that 8 cups thing is quite accurate. Are they accounting for the water that's in your food and other liquids you drink?

    Approx 2 liters of water a day is needed to replace what your body loses every day.

    I often find that the more I drink....the more I drink! does that make sense? For example, if I'm having a day where I need to drink more (eg. long work out) I get thirsty even quicker, often having a couple of glasses an hour for the rest of the day!
    Not had h2o poisoning yet though.....but i am a regular visitor to the little girls' room :P
