Hi, do you think it's important to drink (I don't just mean wine, I mean water, juice, etc.) before you have food, with your food or after the food? Do you drink water while you are eating or on other occasions? i read somewhere that it's impportant to drink before the food, not after. Is this true?

You shouldn't drink water with a meal as it dilutes the acid juices needed for digestion.

Thank you very much for your advice. So basically if I drink juice with the meal it's okay.
