Drinking hemlock is not a painless way to die; it can cause severe suffering. Hemlock contains toxic alkaloids that lead to respiratory failure, muscle paralysis, and convulsions. The process can be prolonged and distressing, often resulting in significant pain and discomfort before death occurs. Therefore, it is not considered a humane or merciful method of dying.

Why did they call Socrates the great philosopher who drank hemlock?

Socrates wrote a book and it promoted individual thought process and thinking for yourself instead of just going along with that government views and his book was thought to corrupt children. Because of his promotion of thinking for yourself and being different he was going to be killed and (I have heard the ending both way so I will just say the two) 1.
