Drink in three sips.
Anas reported that Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) breathed three times (outside the vessel) in the course of a drink and said: “It is more thirst- quenching, healthier and more wholesome.” [Muslim, 23/5030]
This means that a normal gulp = in three sips Scientifically proven that drinking in small doses is healthier for you.
