A member asked:

If in a rush on the way to work, normally i guzzle coffee and take big bites of food. how much is the food/drinks temperature damaging me, and what will happen to esophagus?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not much: While not ideal eating behavior, this should not permanently damage your esophagus or stomach.
