I litre is 4 of your American 8 oz cups, so actually 32 oz. Not that it
matters.


It's measured in fluid ounces, not by weight. Actually, 1 liter =
33.813 US fluid ounces, if you want to be really precise.


I do find American weights and measures are the wrong way round! I am
used to measuring liquid by volume and solids by weight.
