Does that matter really, since fluids (drank rapidly or slowly) are in any case going to come to rest in the stomach. Its in the intestines and colon where the actual fluid and salts absoption will take place - NB: fluids are NOT absorbed in the esophogus... as your question seems to imply..
read a basic text & DONT listen to your granny on matters of biology and you grand-dad on matters o physics!
