Nobody told you that at http://forum.wordreference.com/threads/the-amount-of.3239101/But I was told that: "The amount of water " means "water"
Where did you hear that "the glass of water" means "water"? That's nonsense. "The glass of water" means "The specific glass containing water".

I think 'the amount of water' refers to the quantity of water.
I think 'a glass of water' refers to the quantity of water contained in a glass.But I can't understand why "a glass of water" refers to a container.
I think 'a glass of water' refers to the quantity of water contained in a glass.
No, not this one.
It's a former thread, "a bottle is 175ml".
They said they wouldn't say: The amount of a bottle is 175ml.
What is your problem with this sentence?But why we can say:
I drank a glass of water. ?
I think 'the volume of' is also OK.you could say the size of a bottle is 175 ml.
I think 'the volume of' is also OK.
Thanks so much for your kind help!What is your problem with this sentence?
