Not just the pharynx. Gasoline is a very volatile liquid and would likely be inhaled during the drinking process. You'd get mucosal burns all the way down the trachea into the bronchial tree of the lungs. You'd get terrible air exchange, all kinds of sloughing cells in your lungs, and a predisposition to opportunistic pneumonia. Nasty ugly way to die I'd imagine, but at least you'd give the docs something to talk about..

He or she would not be likely to explode, but the burning of the mucosal surfaces in the mouth and pharynx (throat) would be about as miserably painful and uncomfortable an injury as I can imagine.
