Does anyone drink only water with their meals?

[Frozenbeernuts 1,652]

Thats all I drink, if I drink anything at all. Anyone else?

[Utilit99 4,099]

It's best to not drink anything at all while eating. Only after at least 30 minutes after you eat. So the nutritional benefits of the food don't get washed away.

That said, I drink beer, gin and tonics, margheritas, wine etc. while I eat.

Prob 90%.  I'll sneak some lightly sweetened tea or even a soda on occasion.  Everything in moderation, but I do always have a drink with a meal.

At home I always drink milk with meals. At restaurants I'll either have water or beer.

You will drink milk with New England clam chowder or fettuccinni alfredo or mac and cheese?

How do you do? As for me, I’m in tip-top shape today.

My perfect drink woul be water over shaved ice.  Icees are the coldest things ever, but the syrup sucks.  Just give me water icees please.

[wiffleball 4,631]

Me. 

 

I like beer I like food. I don't like them together.

[wiffleball 4,631]

However, Steak requires a sturdy Malbec. 

[wiffleball 4,631]

I don't know. I always look at families who have like a 2 L of Coke or something on the dinner table as white trash. Pretty sure there's a scene in Ricky Bobby like that.

Water iced tea or milk with breakfast

[Mookz 1,287]

Those carbonated waters with a "hint" of lemon or lime or orange essence.  

Excellent substitute for soda.

I freeze those bottled green teas (Lipton in the states) and drink those like an icee. Just enough sweetness to be refreshing. You should try it.

Only water, why would someone pay 2 dollars for type 2 causing, fattening, sugar water while they are eating a meal. It does not make sense.

I haven't had a coke in years, or anything like it, but I remember enjoying a coke every now and then and I never got fat or became diabetic. 

[Cruzer 1,992]

I drink water all day long, so I don't so much with meals. 

[TimmySmith 2,782]

Mostly. Except when I eat out. 

[Cloaca du jour 2,064]

I drink water 90 percent of the time.

Deelish.

[peenie 1,690]

Me, I only have water in my refrigerator. 

[OldMaid 1,838]

Yep water. Occasionally, wine with some meals. And occasionally, occasionally a margarita if I’m eating Mexican food.

I'll give that a try.  I often drink those Lipton citrus green teas while doing yard work.

My swallow function (heh heh) is less than ideal from the laryngectomy, so I need water every time I eat to wash the food down.  I sometimes have a second beverage for flavor, like coffee in the morning (OK that’s more always than sometimes) or a Pelligrino with lime/ginger beer with dinner.

Also I try to stay hydrated in general, but specifically during chemo, so I’m drinking about 1 gallon of water with added electrolytes per day.  I use my Garmin watch to count 16 ounce glasses.  Also I live in a place that is very hot and dry.  Basically I drink water all day.
