How often do people burp?

Between 25 and 30 times each day. Most people burp about 3 to 6 times after eating or drinking. However, you may not notice all the burps: In some cases, they are so minor you won’t even know it’s happening.

You may burp more frequently if you drink a lot of carbonated beverages like sodas, since you tend to swallow more air with them.

Still, that’s completely normal, and only occurs because of what you’re drinking.

In some instances, though, frequent burping can point to a more serious problem.

One potential cause: Gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD—what you think of as heartburn.

When the acidic contents of your stomach move up into your esophagus—which is known as reflux—it can spark the urge to burp.
