What measurement is 1 glass of water?

Try as we may, we've never been able to guzzle down six to eight glasses of water per day. But is that even necessary?

As SELF reported in May, part of the problem with the famous rule of eight 8-ounce glasses a day is that it fails to account for the water we get naturally through our diet.

And in a recent editorial, a general practitioner from Scotland claims the age-old advice to drink six to eight cups of water is "nonsense."

So how much water do you really need?

What measurement is 1 glass of water?

In other words, four cups of fluid throughout the day (through food and liquids) might be enough for some people (particularly those who exist almost entirely indoors, and who barely move off the couch), while others might need 10 cups or more.

The bottom line: There's no cut-and-dry answer regarding how much total water each of us needs. So instead of fretting about whether you're guzzling enough H2O, Stokes recommends making sure you get enough fluid (in all its forms) to stay hydrated.

Here's how:

  • Don't fixate on how many glasses you chug: Most of us think of a glass when the experts tell us to drink a cup. A cup is only 8 ounces; some glasses are 16 ounces, or more. Drink three 16-ounce glasses (one with breakfast, one with lunch and one with dinner) and you've already met the lower end of the so-called standard.

  • Eat water-rich foods: Hate water and can't stomach three glasses a day? Load up on water-rich foods like yogurt, grapefruit, lettuce, broccoli and watermelon (all of which have a water content of 85 percent or more)! Soup, milk and even ice pops are good options, too.

  • Check your pee: If it's pale or straw-colored, chances are you're adequately hydrated. If it's dark yellow or orange, well, you should probably hit the water cooler. Aim for even more fluids if you're active, if it's hot outside or both. Women should drink an additional 8 to 16 ounces of water, or an electrolyte-infused beverage, for every half hour they sweat through activity and heat.

Concerned about getting water-logged? Unless you're training for a marathon, elderly or hospitalized with a life-threatening condition or guzzling gallons of water in one sitting, hyponatremia (or overhydration) is nearly impossible, says Stokes. If you are an athlete in training or if you play some seriously demanding sports, drinking fluids that contain electrolytes (instead of plain water) will help protect you from the condition.

It doesn't say "150" ... it says "50" ... but it is half-way between 100 and 200 so we can figure out it is 150 ml.

There are also special ones designed to hold an exact amount, such as these 1/2 cup and 1/4 cup measures.

They can also hold more than "1 Cup" of liquid.

This measuring cup holds up to 4 cups of liquid. If the liquid goes all the way to the 3, then there are 3 cups of liquid. Between the numbers we find fractions of a cup. 

2 cups of a liquid is the same thing as 1 pint.  So this measuring cup also holds 2 pints (4 cups equals 2 pints).

Usually liquid ounces. Soda can is 12oz, a "normal" glass is 8oz, i think a coffee cup is 6oz, I work on a nutrition study and that's what we use generally. But a lot of ppl have glasses bigger then 8oz

scale

1 imperial cup = 0.5 imperial pints

Use a measuring cup or a scale. Get a set of measuring cups and dump the water into them and get a good estimate of how many cups are in a glass.

Just be aware: WEIGHT ounces are different than VOLUME ounces.

Glasses are not standard. They come in different sizes.


Most consider a glass of water to equal 8 oz which is 1 cup.

"One glass" of water is usually equal to 8 oz, which you can measure with a measuring cup. When they suggest drinking 8 glasses of water a day, that's the measurement they use.

I think this what you're asking. A cup is a standard measure used for cooking, it's 8 fluid ounces in the US and Canada, 10 fluid ounces in the UK, don't know about other countries. If you have anything that will measure fluid ounces, a standard measuring cup,even an empty jar or can with a fluid ounce measurement, use that. The average short drinking glass is about 8 ounces, maybe less.
