The difference between 16-ounce and 8-ounce glasses is smaller than you would think. 16 ounce glasses are only slightly larger than eight-ounce glasses. When you first start drinking, a 16-ounce glass will appear larger than a 12-ounce glass. But as you get used to it, the glass seems smaller.

A US cup is 8 US fluid ounces and a US fluid ounce is 29.5735 milliliters.
