I was doing some MAJOR air sucking for about 30 seconds. Nothing going in OR out. Scary. I sat down and my thoat suddenly relaxed and I could breathe again. I later read an article in the paper and found out that this is called "dry drowning". I was close to passing out. I'm much more careful with my water bottle habits these days.
you have no idea how many times i've done this. (its sad actually) i use to joke that i was the only one that could drown myself in the desert.
