masida is one channel running down the throat. Tip a cup and you are drinking water; empty a glass several times and you are drinking alcohol. Air pulled through the nose into the chest is taking a breath, grey smoke riding the same channel is breathing smoke in, and lifting the bowl to your lips for the last of it is drinking the broth.
