A member asked:
What happens if you hold water in your mouth or under your tongue would the water be absorbed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Water absorption: the water molecule is too large to permeate through the tissue in the mouth. the water will only wet the surface of either the tongue or the soft tissues
