"A cubic mile is the volume of a cube measuring one mile on each side. Of this vast volume of water, NOAA's National Geophysical Data Center estimates that 321,003,271 cubic miles is in the ocean. That's enough water to fill about 352,670,000,000,000,000,000 gallon-sized milk containers!"
It can be computed. I have seen estimates of the volume of the oceans expressed in cubic miles. I don't remember what it was, but it's been done. From there, it's a simple bit of math to convert cubic miles to gallons, or to liters, or to the # of red solo cups needed to contain it all.
