A liquid spreading model is developed in which surface and gravitational driving energies are balanced against the energy lost through bulk viscous dissipation. Behaviour is described in terms only of independently measurable quantities, with no adjustable parameters. Additionally, the model can be used to predict liquid viscosity as a function of spreading behaviour.
