Glasses a day

[Radio Storm]

Please forgive me if this is a stupid question...

When the Canada Food Guide says you should drink x number of glasses of water or milk per day, what exactly do they mean by "glasses"? Do they mean wee little shot glasses, or do they mean those great big gigantic 500+ mL glasses that you find at the dollar store? How big is a "glass"?

Generally a glass refers to 8 fluid ounces. That's what I've come to accept at least.

A glass in the USA is 8 fluid ounces, as Onurb said. That measurement converted to millilitres is roughly 237 ml.
