    In what way is sirup or honey easier to swallow than water? I’m asking for real because if anything I see it as quite the opposite. There’s a reason one blends food for people who have trouble swallowing solids

      As someone else mentioned, it can be consumed with a spoon, for example. It can be as thick as honey, so you wouldn’t necessarily be drinking it from a glass.

      Near the end of his life my father had a condition that made it hard to close off his windpipe when taking a sip of water. They gave him thickened water in hospital to help with that.
