I wanna drink this icy cold liquid, or would it freeze inside of my throat before heating up enough to turn back into normal water?

Reading the figures on the paper, the water is supercooled to a chilly 225K (-48°C).

Best case you get a brain freeze.

Worst case

The supercooled state is unstable. It would probably crystallize into a solid in your mouth as you chugged it. Yikes.
