Why does beer give a automatic cough, when it hits the windpipe wrong ?!


Question: It has something to do with the windpipe, or lungs ... I'm just trying to get a better understanding.

1 time at the Tower Theater, I saw Dave Chapelle doing a live stand up comedy show, and while walking down the aisle ... I got a sneeze in my cough after taking a little sip of my beer.

Then tonight, I was down to the last part of my 40 ounce, and I got this cough that feels like my throat is sneezing, has anyone else ever had this problem ? ( why, or how does it happen )

I'm guessing it's because, I drink beer like water, and don't realize that it's not that settling in the throat/windpipe/lung area ... not to yell ... I'D RATHER YALL GIVE ME SOME ADVICE ... hahaha - Thanks !!!

it's a cough reflex. you don't want anything going down your windpipe except air.
