      Drinking before, during and after meals is a subject that is constantly debated. Every doctor is different and so you will get all kind if answers. Your best bet is ask your doctor. My doctor allow

      I drink right up until I eat and I've never had a problem. Your mileage may vary.

      I drink up to about 10-15 minutes before eating but wait the 30 minutes after. But ask your doctor because every doctor has their own thoughts.

    My doctor allows drinking with meal, just wait 1 minute after bit. That being said I am more comfortable not drinking with my meal. I drink before and I drink after.

    This works for me but as suggested check with your doctor. Best wishes.

    I drink right up to my meal but I don't drink during and I try to wait a while after. I try not to drink anything real cold before I eat because it seems to make me tighter
