Not because of the drink itself. But if you have a sip of water while walking or cycling, go on with your activity as soon as you can, no need to make a break of every sip. | |

| Oct 17, 2018 at 13:01 | comment | added | Jon Custer | You have heard people say this, I have never heard anyone say this. Curious. If I've finished a game of squash and am done for the day, I'd say I'd drink sitting down. If I'm backpacking and still have more trail to cover I'll either sit or stand - moving around without the pack feels good with muscles getting stiffer. But that isn't about the water, more about keeping loose. | |

| Oct 17, 2018 at 11:05 | comment | added | Jan | Not to be picky, but: One vs other position would be better for what? For which exact physical/health outcome? I believe, this should be a part of your question if you expect a scientifically reasonable answer. There can be a difference in speed of gastric emptying, but this alone may not be so important. | |
