No.
The Coriolis Effect works on the scale of weather systems.
At the level of a sink drain, there are too many other forces at work, and the Coriolis Effect is negligible.
It's easy to prove that in your own area, not all sinks spin in one direction while they drain. Just keep records every time you see a sink drain.

this is a delusion that water swirls a distinctive course down a bathroom bowl placed north or south of the equator. The result, widely used as Coriolis result, applies to greater beneficial structures like the climate. The rotation of the earth (as quickly as in line with day) is susceptible while in comparison with water draining down a sink (1000's to 1000's circumstances in some seconds). The Coriolis result is so small it would not have any effect on water occurring a drain.

yes it does, because the high pressure and low pressure systems work in reverse in the southern hemisphere than in the northern hemisphere.

You bet it does as long as no other out side force acts upon it
