Why is this happening?
I have chest congestion, so I am constantly forcing mucus out of my throat.
Anyway, now whenever I drink water I experience a sensation somewhat similar to drowning. I can't really explain, but it is scary. I took a fairly small gulp of water like I regularly do. And I just reacted how one would react if they just dunked their heads in a tub of water. Yeah, the whole wide eyed, deep wheezy breath, and panic. Can someone explain why this is happening?

Your trechea (Wind-pipe that you breath through) must be exposed when your drinking water causing you to have a reaction like coughing and panicing as if you were drowning. My best advice is try your best not to breath while you eat or drink. If this doesn't work, consult you health-care provider.
