The Sunnah
Anas (ra) said: The Prophet ﷺ used to take three breaths while drinking, and he said: "It is more thirst-quenching, more wholesome, and more soothing."

The Science
Drinking in measured sips rather than gulping is gentler on the body and lets one drink calmly. The Sunnah describes it as more satisfying and wholesome.
How to Practice
1
Hold the cup in your right hand
2
Pause to breathe away from the cup between sips
3
Drink in three separate breaths
4
Avoid breathing into the vessel
Muslims revived this Sunnah
