Infants are able to drink and breathe at the same time due to the fact that their hyoid bone sits slightly higher than adults. This acts like a snorkel to the larynx. In adults, the hyoid drops so we must close our airways with the epiglottis while we are drinking.

Can you drink and speak at the same time?
no No you can't, because when you drink, meaning to swallow, you automatically lock your airway (trachea). Now in order to form words and speak you have to blow out the air which makes the vocal cords swing and makes the sound come out. this can't happen as long as your airway is locked, just as you can't breath and drink at the same time.
