      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 (83? 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).
