If someone is choking should you give them water? If so, why is it a good idea or why is it a bad idea?

No, do not give water as this can make matters worse. First ask the person something to determine if they can talk. If they can speak or cough, the airway is not blocked and a slap on the back between the shoulder blades may dislodge the object.
If they cannot speak, but only nod their head, the airway may be blocked. The best thing to do at this point is the Heimlich maneuver.
