The epiglotis is the flap of skin at the back of your throat that should prevent you from taking water into your lungs when you drink. It's not infalable though.

i would think that the cough reflex would prevent one from drowning from a single inhalation of water while drinking. i think to drown would require an excess of water that would prevent oxygen from getting to the lungs while coughing.
