Hi,

I'm new to this site. I was just wondering, what volume of water is in a 'cup'?

Is it half a pint?

Thank in advance.

    They mean cup as in the measurement (cup of sugar, etc), not cup as in a container to hold a drink.

    roughly 250 mL... ie 4 cups makes a liter.

    Thanks. I'm just trying to work out how many cups I've had if I drink five pints of water.

    5 pints is 2.3 L... or 300mL more than the 8x8oz glasses

    5 pints = 80 ounces... goal is 64 oz for the 8x8 oz glasses

    google search bar...
    convert 5 pints to mL
    convert X mL to ounces etc

    It can mean anything you want it to mean. I would take it as being 1 cup - which is 240mL in the US and 250mL internationally. Although as I drink water in 400mL lots, my diary actually records how many lots of 400mL I drink as a 'cup'.
