Of course, usually milk, though! Your mouth and nasal cavity are both connected at the back of your throat. When you breath in and out, where the air goes just depends on whether your mouth is open or closed. If you expel air from your lungs while you have your mouth closed, it all goes out through your nose. And if you have a mouth full of juice at the time, it all goes out your nose along with your breath.

Yes. I've had it happen with several choice beverages. Soda pop hurts. It's possible because your sinus passage is connected to your throat. In most cases, everything drains down. But in an interruption, such as laughing or sneezing, the said beverage can reverse direction, miss the opening that goes to your mouth, and traverse the path to one's nose instead.

Yes it has happened to me. It's possible because there is a detour in the back of your throat that goes up to your nose and ears. If you swallow and then laugh, the air will eject the fluid back up your throat and sometimes your nose. It's very normal, but funny to watch happen.

yes, all the time. it's not hard to make me laugh. you're half way through swallowing so the juice is in the back of your throat and you laugh so a blast of air shoots up and since your mouth is closed cause of the juice it goes the next best way through your nose, taking the juice in the back of your throat with it. burns doesn't it? lol

The air passageway in your nose drains into the back of your throat... That's how you can breathe through your nose and get oxygen to your lungs... it's also why when you have running nose, you can have a sore throat (I'll just write mucus draining and leave it at that). There are some people who can put a string up into their nose and bring it out their mouth.
I know... EWwww!

That mostly happens with beer or other alcoholic beverages I drink. The back of your nose canal is connected to your throat - so when you laugh you were swallowing the drink and it is pushed back up the nose canal.

You just sucked it in the wrong pipe and out your nose is all!
What i mean by that is instead of it going down your throat and into your tummy you laughed and sucked upward and thats where your juice went LMAO!

when you laugh, the air push the juice up your nose pipe, which IS connected to your throat as well.

You breath through your nose, too, & when you first breath into laugh, it gets in your air pipes then is pushed out the other way.
