Holding your breath Vs. Gulping down your drink.?

Question

I have an off-the-wall question:

Why is it way easier to Hold Your Breath for 1 minute...... verses ......
Trying to Gulp Down your favorate Juice Drink for 1 Minute (without breathing) ??
We only can Hold our Breaths for just 10-15 minutes max. Average.

I mean try it........
Try Guzzling Down your favorate drink for 1 whole minute. You can't can you?? You start Sufficating. It's practically Impossible, right ??

Now,,, try only Holding your Breath for just 1 Minute.
See how much easier it is in the HOLDING of the BREATH verses trying to GULP DOWN your favorate Drink for a Minute (without taking a breath) ??

*Can someone who is Human Biologically educated tell me 'Why' this is ??*
I mean, Why does our bodies cry out for "OXYGEN" Faster when Guzzling Down drinks compared to just HOLDING our BREATHS ??

Answer 1

My guess would be that the act of drinking involves muscles which need oxygen to function. When you hold your breath, you usually sit still and relax.

Answer 2

Are you in training for Beerfest or something? Cuz that would be awesome if you were.
