    There is no scientific definition of the volume of a faucet drip, but after measuring a number of kitchen and bathroom sink faucets, for our calculations below (numbers are rounded), we are going to use 1/4 milliliter (ml) as the volume of a faucet drip. By these drip estimates:

    One gallon = 15,140 drips
    One liter = 4,000 drips

    (One other site lists the volume as 1/3 milliliter.) 

    Simple calculation with an apparent range of + / - 25%

    Sounds good---I can't drink it slowly enough to count the drips anyway.

    When I was teaching chemistry, I had my students measure how many drips per 10 ml. They averaged close enough to 200 so that one ml = 20 drips. An Imperial pint contains 569ml, so the number of drips calculates to approximately 11,400 drips, depending on who draws the beer.
