Question: Interesting drowning question.?
If you are in the shower and you have water in your mouth but you don't swallow any but you don't breath at all long enough for you to die. would this be considered drowning.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
Eventually your body will probably take over and make you try and take a breath. But if all the water's in you mouth, you will breathe it in and that would be drowning. Drowning is death by water inhilation though, if you never inhale any, you won't drown. Maybe pass out from holding your breath if you can. But you won't die that way.

Swallowing water isn't the problem. It's sucking it into your lungs when you try to take a breath. And you couldn't hold your breath that long because you would pass out and your body would automatically breath for you.Health Question & Answer
I agree with the person that said you wouldn't die...you'd just pass out. If you could hold your breath and die this way, however, it would not be drowning. It would be dying from lack of air which I believe is called asphyxiation. Health Question & Answer
