A liter is 32 ounces which is 1000 millilitres, right?  Which is also known as 2.2 pounds.  My fluid restriction is one liter per day which is 1000 milliliters which is 32 ounces. 

If I'm wrong please someone correct me but I think this is what it is.

For those in the US that find the metric system challenging I've noticed when I've been over there a lot of products often have the ml count on them.. eg on a can of coke it will say however many oz (355ml) or whatever it is... so you can work out that way.
