Swallowing is a mechanical action done with your muscles; that's how astronauts can eat and how you can eat or drink upside down if you were really wanting to.

Saw someone drinking a whole beer from a funnel while being being held upside down. People do this and I basically die when drinking a sip of water while lying in bed.

Maybe the issue is that you're too horizontal? Try doing a handstand first.
