Why do we have to contract our throat when swallowing water? I mean it could just slide right down to our tummies.

When you swallow a flap blocks the airway and food and drink goes down the right pipe. Once in a great while you fuck up and breathe in at the same time leaving you coughing and hacking spraying whomever is in front of you with soda, liquid, or fresh chewed particulate food matter.
If you get seriously injured, stroke, etc or even simply old age you can lose this ability to block your airway. If you don’t already have one then they will put in a tube that goes through your nose to your stomach to give you substance. If it appears you’ll never gain your ability to swallow then they’ll put what is called a peg tube directly through your abdomen into your stomach and sustain you that way.
