Best Answer

The number depends on whose mouth, and on the substance being swallowed.

There is no standard quantity of swallow defined in the metric system.

But you can easily carry out a simple experiment to derive the number on your own.

Simply fill an 8-ounce cup with the substance of your choice, and count the number of

swallows required to empty the cup.

If you lack confidence in your ability to swallow and count at the same time, then enlist

the aid of a grad student or post-doc to act as your lab assistant, and have the assistant

count and keep lab notes, while you do the swallowing.

On average, it takes about 5-10 mouth swallows to equal one cup of liquid, depending on the individual's swallowing capacity and the size of the sips.
