I drank 48 fluid ounces here!!!! 6 glasses I drink out of a water bottle that is half a liter ... so really I drank 3 water bottles which is about 50oz or just over 6 cups... I hope to drink atleast 4 water bottles tomorrow (later today) to make the goal...

There are 16.9070113 fluid ounces in 0.5 (one-half) of a liter.

8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of Breast Cancer by 79%., and one is 50% less likely to develope Bladder Cancer. Are you drinking the amount of water you should drink every day?
9. To estimate how many cups of fluids your body needs daily just divide your body weight in pounds by 2. This will give you your daily fluids requirement in ounces. Dividing the ounces by 8 gives you the number of cups you have to drink. For example, a woman weighing 128 lbs would require: 128/2= 64 ounces, 64 ounces/8 = 8 cups of fluids.
