Drop sizes change depending on the weight of the liquid. This range can be anywhere between 50 - 120 drops per teaspoon. Since there are 3 teaspoons per tablespoon, then (50 to 120) x 3 = 150 to 360 drops per tablespoon. There are also several exact definitions of a "drop". Here are 3 of them: * the "metric" drop, 1/20 ml (50 μL). * the medical drop, 1/12 ml (83⅓ μL). * the Imperial drop, 1/36 of a fluid dram (1/288 of an Imperial fluid ounce or 1/1440 of a gill (approximately 99 μl).

A standard teaspoon holds about 5 milliliters of liquid.
well, depends on how big the drops are. what you just asked is the equivelent of asking how many rocks fit in a F150 pickup truck bed. There is no standard-sized "drop". 1 medicine dropper drop might be 30 mg (with water, thicker liquid= bigger drop) but when it's from a pipette or spigot it might be 20 or 50mg. If you're using a medicine dropper I recommend you actually count out how many it takes to fill a teaspoon. Unless you're in a chem lab making explosives or in a kitchen measuring super-potent sweeteners (eg: 25% sucralose solution) +/- a few drops won't matter much.
Typically, a dash is equivalent to about 1/8th to 1/16th of a teaspoon, depending on the size and shape of the bottle's opening. The number of drops per dash can vary, but on average, it's around 6-10 drops. It's always a good idea to test it out with water to determine the exact number for your specific bottle.
