Ya, I’ve lost three good friends, they couldn't just leave it in the bottom of the glass

I'm sure if you tried really hard you could. But i sip of hot tea would sort you out fairly sharpish.

Boil the kettle and pour the boiling water down your gob, that should help

possibly, if you sallow hard enough it will go down, theres no real way to melt it any faster, hot water will help but wont have an instant effect

The answer is: Yes - you can choke to death on an ice cube.
Asphyxiation, hypoxia, RIP (Rise If Possible)

Prevention?
Heimlich maneuver.

Oh no!! sorry for your trouble. I hope it was quick for them at least:p.

God I'm afraid I'd be fairly useless with the heimlich manouever, I'd just have to watch em asphyxiate. Boiling water sounds good, maybe it would counteract the iciness and ya wouldn't scald the gullet too badly?? And tea, sure thats a cure for everything. I'm pregnant!! Ah we'll put on the kettle! Himself has ran off with that tart down the road!! Who's makin the tea?
Failing that make mine a vodka and white. Extra ice.....
