My guess is his 22 cups might amount to 7 or 8 of today's size coffee mugs. Our china cups at home were small, the cafe's larger.

His doctor asked Dad to keep track so he made a mark on a piece of paper for every cup. Those years Dad was selling furniture and floor covering (carpets and rugs) at a downtown Montgomery Ward store. The salesmen got breaks and went around the corner to a cafe. A restroom was right there on the floor where he worked. He never had a prostate problem. Doc told my brother when Dad was in his early 90s his prostate was the size of a walnut so that was why he could hold so much liquid, I guess.
