• Divide 16 ounces by 8(the number of ounces in one cup) = (16/8) = 2 cups.

Or

## Is 16 fl oz of water the same as 16 oz?

No, 16 fl oz is not the same as 16 oz. A fluid ounce (fl oz) is used to measure liquids/fluids, while an ounce (oz) measures dry ingredients.

It’s hard to equate the measurements of a fluid ounce to an ounce.

## Can you survive on a 16 oz cup of water every day?

You can only survive on a 16-ounce cup of water if you pair it with other drinks. If you take milk, tea, fruit juices, coconut water, and sports juices, among other beverages, a 16 oz cup of water a day could be enough.

Vegetables and fruits with high water content could also be of great help.

It’s important to note that drinking 16 ounces of water a day, even with other fluids, may not work for highly active individuals (gym enthusiasts and athletes). They need to drink more water to stay hydrated.
