    take a GIGANTIC mouthful of water. so much, you can't swallow much.

    swallow. (it will feel like you're choking. or like you wanna beat your chest out. blame my dad, he makes me do this. but it works.)

    wipe off sheen of sweat on forehead.

    Eat a spoonful of table sugar.

    If that doesn't work, drink a glass of water upside down. That is, hold the glass in your hand and bend over from the waist. Bend your neck so that the top of your head points toward the floor. Now drink the water--see how you're drinking out of the opposite side of the glass?

    Good luck.
