Why can I swallow cold water easier than say warm(not hot) water.?

When I drink water that is really cold I can drink a large glass quickly. But when I drink water or tea that is just warm, I can't physically swallow it in more then one swallow.

Since the water in not hot you would think you could swallow it at the same speed.

IDK, I've just been curious about this question for a long time now.

    its just a preference thing, nothing medical.

    Btw, its better for ur digestion to drink water that isnt ice cold. Its better to let it sit in room temperature for an hour or so if u can.
