I’ve also read something (no sources, so take this as you will, maybe someone can corroborate) that talked about the difference between feeling instantly satisfied when drinking, but not when eating

The difference was you can die from drinking too much water too quickly, but not from eating too much food too quickly, so the body has an instant response for fluid intake to stop you over drinking and potentially dying
