      Genuine Question.

      How big is a glass?
      How many ml/fl oz of water is in a "glass of water"?

              I always took it to be 8-8oz glasses of water is what's recommended..so yes, i would agree it's 8oz's or 250 mls.

              i have a one litre water container I use, i aim for 3 or 4 of those a day which i think would be about 90 oz +
