.

The daily consumption is  8*177.441 milliliters = 1,419.528 mL.


The weekly consumption is 7*1,419.528 mL = 9,936.696 mL.


1 liquid ounce = 29.574 mL.


1 can = 25 oz = 25*29.574 mL = 739.350 mL.


The number of cans per week =  = 13.44.


ANSWER.  14 cans is enough.   13 cans is below the required volume.
