is it even possible to do this?

i would think the rapidly heating gas would expand so much as to make it impossible to swallow

I dont think the muscles that force food down the esophagus would work once frozen SOLID

I don’t think it could have been one drink. I think a series of lets say 8-10 drinks were the culprit. You can probably drink one drink that is -60f but not 6 in a row. Something like that.

I don’t know what the temperature of the drink was but I agree that I don’t think you could reliably drink liquid nitrogen. If it managed to get to your esophagus I think you would either rupture something internally or be belching because of the expanding gas.
