Infants are able to drink and breathe at the same time due to the fact that their hyoid bone sits slightly higher than adults. This acts like a snorkel to the larynx. In adults, the hyoid drops so we must close our airways with the epiglottis while we are drinking.

Can you drink and speak at the same time?
