Drinking while Eating

I think this may be one of those myths that come from a generalization that someone has made about advice given to someone else. Like the poster above whose mother has IBS and was told not to drink while eating. So someone else doesn't read that correctly and thinks they shouldn't drink while they eat, period, end of story. Or maybe someone was told not to guzzle so much water while they eat because too much water too fast will fill you up and they misunderstood and thought they just shouldn't drink while they eat.

I drink at least two cups of water while eating, more with salty restaurant food, and I've never suffered any health consequences and as you can see from my ticker below, I've been losing weight just fine.
