Drinking while eating - do you?

I follow the 30 minute rule because I believe that if I have worked hard to chew up my protein and get it into my pouch why waste the protein by washing it thru my pouch before it can do what it is supposed to do, make me saited and provide maximum protein absorbtion. I do sip if my food is exceptionally dry but only enough to get it down. Otherwise no liquid 30 minutes before or 30 minutes after food. Cathy -88
