why should we wait 30 minutes - 1 hour after our meals to drink liquids?

i guess i need as much insight on this question as i can get from the more experienced members of our site. is it just a suggestion or should we really keep up with this? what happens if we drink after meals? medically, how is this beneficial? all details will be so much appreciated!
