Rachel says:  I've had trouble with this reference myself.  If a cup is 8 
ounces then at 30ml/ounce ... 1 cup is 240cc and 2 cups is  480cc. So is the 
stomach capacity 900ml or 2 cups?

Imagine being really hungry with your tummy really empty --  8:00 am, for 
example.  Now imagine trying to drink nearly a liter of  fluid.  I think long 
before you finished you would be sick.  True --  you could spread that out over 
the 16 hours you are awake, but all at one time  -- or even at one meal?  I 
don't think so.  Stomach capacity of an  adult is much closer to 500 ml.  But 
also remember there is physiologic  capacity and anatomic capacity.  I'd be 
willing to wager most of us can  tuck away the equivalent of 4 cups at Thanksgiving 
dinner.  So, when do we  FEEL full, comfortably, and when are we stuffed?
