Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request in English. Please answer in English.

### Instruction:
Cassie is an athletic person and tries to drink at least 12 cups of water a day to stay hydrated while being active. Her water bottle holds 16 ounces. There are 8 ounces of water in a cup. How many times does Cassie have to refill her water bottle a day to make sure she drinks 12 cups?

### Response:
If Cassie drinks 12 cups of water a day, she drinks 8 * 12 = <<12*8=96>>96 ounces of water.
To drink 96 ounces, Cassie needs to refill her water bottle 96 / 16 = <<96/16=6>>6 times.
