The human mouth is pretty deep – around 10-15 mm for grown-ups. Kids? Less. Maybe 5-10 mm. Vestibular space sits at just 2-4 mm. Varies though.
Ever stared at stock charts while drinking? Bad idea. Really bad. Water goes down wrong when markets suddenly dive. It seems the distance from your lips to that throat gateway is about 15-20 mm for adults. Kind of surprising how small that is.
Market volatility and drinking don't mix. Sharp price swings. Quick reactions. You're taking a sip and bam! Not entirely clear why people risk it. The choking danger is real. Stay safe. Markets can wait.
