glass of water

Hydration in tumbler

A glass of water is a drinking glass containing water, or the amount of water such a glass holds.

The phrase functions as a standard unit of consumption: Drink eight glasses of water a day.

It also serves as a minimal request or offering: Can I get you a glass of water?

The simplicity makes it a test case for basic hospitality or capability: He can't even get you a glass of water.
