##The simple reading of the Mishna Brurah (Shaar HaTziyun 210:11) is that [[Kedi Shtiyat Reviyit]] is two gulps (swallowing with your throat twice).

###Vezot HaBracha (Birur Halacha 11, pg 240-1) questions this because of the difficulty of swallowing a [[Revi'it]] in two gulps. He quotes and supports the explanation of the Haggadat Kol Dodi ([[Siman 2]])<ref>Rabbi Dovid Feinstein (Haggadah Kol Dodi, 5745 p. 5) writes that the shiur of kdei shtiyat revi’it is drinking from the cup two times, each time drinking several gulps without removing the cup from one’s lips, and removing the cup once between the two times.</ref> who writes that [[Kedi Shtiyat Reviyit]] is drinking a number of gulps without any break and without removing the cup from one's lips. Hence it is more accurate to translate the time frame as two sips (intakes into your mouth) than two gulps.

##Rav Ovadyah Yosef (Sh"t Yabia Omer 5:18(2), Chazon Ovadyah ([[Brachot]] pg 259-260)) rules that [[Kedi Shtiyat Reviyit]] is one gulp. Or Letzion (vol 2, 14:17) agrees. Halacha Brurah 210:9 writes that if a person drank a reviyit straight even in two or three gulps that it is still called kedi shiur reviyit but still this is a very short time.

==If one vomited his food==
==Limiting One's Bracha Achrona==
# If someone ate two foods and recited a bracha achrona for one of them and didn’t have in mind the other one, some say that if the other one is less significant than the first one the bracha achrona exempted both foods and if it is more significant then it isn’t exempt. Other say that automatically the bracha achrona includes everything even if you didn’t have it in mind. <Ref>Rav Poalim OC 2:32 writes that perhaps for bracha achrona since you’re obligated already it is automatically going to exempt the foods even those you didn’t have in mind and you can’t have kavana not to exempt them. He says it isn’t comparable to bracha rishona but he cites the Zecher Yitzchak Harari 97d and Shaar Asher OC 4 who did say that comparison. According to the Zecher Yitzchak and Shaar Asher if one recited the bracha achrona on the less significant food it doesn’t exempt the more significant one. Yabia Omer OC 10:55:13 agrees with the idea in the Rav Poalim and supports it from the Maharam Ben Chaviv.  He concludes that one shouldn’t recite another bracha even if you didn’t have it in mind. </ref>
# If a person ate two foods with two brachot achronot and recited the bracha achrona on one of them and in theory the brach achrona would exempt the other food after the fact does it exempt the other one without intention? Some say yes and some say no.
 
==If One Vomited His Food==


#A person who ate and then threw up what he ate shouldn’t say Bracha Achrona and ideally he should try to eat more or listen to someone else recite that bracha for themselves.<ref>Birkei Yosef 208:1 quotes the Panim Meirot who explained that since one's stomach doesn't benefit from the food one can't recite a bracha achrona. However, the Birkei Yosef argues that one can recite a bracha achrona just for benefit to one's palate. Nonetheless there is no bracha achrona since there is no remaining satisfaction from the original food just like the case where a person ate food and the forgot to make a bracha achrona until after it was already digested in which case it is too late to recite a bracha achrona. Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 51:15 concludes that one is exempt from a bracha achrona after vomiting. Kaf HaChaim 184:34, Ben Ish Chai (Chukat no. 13), and Vezot HaBracha (p. 113) quoting the Shaarei Teshuva agree with the Birkei Yosef that if one vomited that there's no bracha achrona but ideally one should try to eat more or listen to  someone else's bracha achrona.</ref>
