We constantly have spit in our mouth 100% of the time but if we were made to drink any amount of our spit it'd be disgusting. Why?

It's the quantity. And also, by the time you've filled a cup of spit, it has cooled and dried a bit, maybe even breaking itself down, resulting in an increased viscousity, giving it a very unpleasant mouthfeel.

I get that the OP asked a question, but did you have to answer it with this level of detail?
