while eating meal you drink water or after completing the meal?

i prefer to drink water while eating. however it's more suitable to drink water before one takes meal as it makes your stomach ready for starting its digesting process.some say that drinking water after finishing your meal is fatal in long term as it's kind of interrupts digestion.

I drink water while waiting for the meal to come, and then I will sip through it if I feel a little dry or if the food is a little dry. I will also drink it afterwards if I do not order any tea or coffee. It all depends. I am a great water drinker and do it all the time. I find it keeps me from eating too much, and in some cases, the food is not that appetizing and the water dilutes the taste.

I drink anything if it isn't water during the meal. I think it is a good idea in case you need it right away or something.
