My friend has a habit of drinking coffee after eating. She said that it helps her digest more. I am not sure about this but I just let her believe what she wants to believe. Some of my friends say that tea helps you digest. So some of them have tea after eating. I let them have what they want. Me, I am satisfied with water and that's it.

Hi my friend !! well,I'm just like you water after food.but, some times it comes different I'll have coffee when I'm out of home in a hotel or in my friend's house. People who usually drink tea or coffee after the eating food they are moody.So, I'm too.

I didn't know that coffee makes you moody. Thanks for sharing that one. I'll watch out now for my friends' moods after they drink their coffee. lol

No, I do not drink coffee or tea after eating. I drink water or any fruit juice instead of coffee and tea. I consider tea and coffee as refreshment purpose only.

That's good. Although I am not much of a fan of any fruit juice, my family is.

Even i like to have water having a meal. Water helps to digest the food well. Some of my friends say that if we drink tea we can wakeup for longer periods that we will not get sleep faster but i did not find any change i sleep more if i drink tea.

I prefer having hot water after having meal neither coffee nor tea. most of the religion belief in having cup of tea after meal. but i think hot or warm water is better to drink after meal that i always do. you know we use to clean our mouth after having meal similarly with warm water you can clean your intestine.there may be something left in intestine after meal, so warm water clean all of those and also reduce breath stink. and you wont need to use any mouth freshner.

I don't drink coffer very much. It has a profound influence on our body and emotion, and I want to control myself by myself, -_-. For tea, it's a good thing in my mind. Both of the brewing and tasting time seem to bring you into a peaceful air, -_-. And drinking tea after eating immediately, maybe you cann't enjoy its benefits. Many people think that drinking tea in about half and hour after eating is better. Because lots of water into your stomach in digestion will make the juices secreted by stomach thinner, and thus affect the digestion. So does water.
