Question:
People say that?
you can drown in any ammoun tof water
well what is the smallest ammount of water you can drown in?
And is it really drowning or is it just like chocking on water?
Answers:
I think to reliably drown, one must be submerged such that any attempt to breathe or cough the water out of one's lungs will be ineffective because of the unavailability of air.
Therefore, a cup of water in the bronchial tree might be fatal for a very weak or ill person, but in general, I think if a person can bend over, or otherwise be inverted and overcome the spasms enough to inhale air and be able to cough out the water, it's possible they would survive.
