Sixteen fluid ounces is 2 cups, which is also one US pint. In milliliters it is about 473 mL, and that number is printed on many 16 fl oz bottles next to the ounces.
People sometimes search "16 oz in millimeters" when they mean milliliters; the answer is the same 473 mL. A British pint is bigger, at 20 imperial fl oz (568 mL), so a UK "pint" recipe needs a little more.
Weight is where 16 oz gets slippery. Sixteen ounces by weight is 1 pound: a pound of butter is 2 cups, but a pound of all-purpose flour is about 3 3/4 cups and a pound of powdered sugar is about 4 cups. Check grams in a cup for others.
