Is there such a thing as sipping to fast?

I was looking over my paperwork from the nut. and it stated "1-2 oz every 15 mins"  & "It may take about up to 1 hour to consume 8 oz." However, it doesn't take me that long I can consume 8 to 11 oz. of liquids in 30 mins without feeling sick or any issues. Am I sipping to fast? Am I doing something wrong? I do my best to take small sips but when I'm drinking something hot like broth I tend to hold the cup the entire time and before I know it the cup is empty. Any advise?

Hey Lee,
  If you feel like you are going to fast then try putting the cup down in between sips.  Kinda like when eating put the fork down each time.  If putting the cup down ever sip seem like to much try every two sips maybe something like that. Good luck

Hi Lee,

I would think that you are only sipping too fast if you're taking in a lot of air. Are you uncomfortable when you sip/drink your fluids? If not, I would think that what you're doing is fine. At least you're getting your liquids in!

 Hi Lee, I could sip certain liquids quicker than others.  Hot decaf tea goes down really easy.  I tend to drink tea fast and never had a problem.  I do burp at times, but no really discomfort.  Hot broth also went down really easy.  Anything hot goes down well and fast.  I try to put the mug down in between sips, however it feels so good to hold on to the warm mug. Hope all is well.
