Why do goalkeepers always drink water after conceding a goal?

I'm always very observant whenever I'm watching football which have led me to find out than each time when a goalkeeper let in a goal, he reaches for the water bottle in his corner to drink.

I don't understand the reason why they do this? What's the essence of this water they drink?
 
This is something I noticed too and I have never been able to work out why that is the case. I guess due to how much effort they put in to make sure that they don't concede a goal, it can be tiring for them or failing that, it is something they do to avoid any kind of confrontation.
 
How did you observe that? It just occurred to me now that it's true! I think it's a technique to calm their nerves after conceding a goal and to also replenish fluids. It could also provide mental reset as well.
