I love to drink water especially when eating but since I came to work in China I've learned the culture that they don't drink traditionally before or at the middle of eating or even at the end. The place or province where I am working is like that but if possible I ask for any beverage available. Generally now I always drink coffee with any of my meals. Take care =)

If I have a forced situation, I think I can eat without drinking water but most of the time I would prefer having a drink beside me while I am eating. I am never comfortable if I can't drink before I eat. Usually I will have some gulps of water before I start eating. In the middle of eating, I will drink some more to make the food move from my throat section into the stomach. I feel choked if I can't drink water while eating a full meal. I remembered one time when I didn't drink while eating because I was at a party and at that time the host was out of drinks and he is making some more in the kitchen. I choked in the middle of eating and I had to go to the kitchen and ask for some drinks.

I don't think I can. I am more of a water drinker. Water is essential to us because 75% of our body is composed of water. I might end up being dehydrated without water within my reach.

Did you mean PLAIN DRINKING WATER? If so... I think we can eat (for sometimes) without PLAIN water, using other liquid (coffee, softdrinks, fruit juices, tea and many others... But we can't do it regularly since water is the MOST important thing we should have. remember our body is mostly composed of water. Water is one thing we can't live without.

No I cant have breakfast, lunch or dinner without drinking water in the beginning or in the middle and then a lot of water I drink after finishing. Its advisable to drink water in the day rather than the night so i always have a lot of water during breakfast and lunch.

I don't usually drink with my meals.If its breakfast,sometimes i will have a cup of tea with it.I really like to have a hot cup of tea after eating.I very seldom drink water but i do try to get at least one or two glasses in aday.I know we should be drinking at least eight-but thats too much for me.

Yes, I have to have me something to drink to allow my food to go easily down my throat. I usually will have milk or juice. But, I can do without water at times too. I don't have to have it right before I eat..

I don't think I can eat and finish eating without drinking water. Water helps me swallow my food quite more easily. I drink water before or after I eat or anytime I feel like I need to drink while I'm eating. It's impossible for me not drink water while I'm eating.

I think you are doing a very wrong thing in taking water before during and after a meal. As per techings of yoga, it is absolutely wring to take water with meals. At th emost you must take a sip of water if you really nead it badly. Water shoud be avoided at meal times. It should be takne minimum half an hour after a meal. At non meal times have plenty of water. Reason is simple. For digestion of food, a number of juices act of the food you eat when it reaches the stomach. If yo fill the stomach with water, the food is floating in the water and the juices get diluted, thus hindering digestion. yu hae more gas and indigestion. Let the food get digested and then drink water. you will feel healthier and better that way.
