Good Question: This is a common error...

You can drink and eat at the same time.

You cannot drink and eat a lot fast at the same time You cannot drink a lot fast at the same time You cannot eat a lot fast at the same time

Or said another way...

You can eat a small amount slowly

You can drink a small amount slowly

You can eat and drink a small amount slowly

The key is?

A small amount slowly

Not

Eating and drinking together

What ever you eat or drink:

Make it small amounts slowly and you will do fine

If you eat or drink anything in large amount fast you are likely to have problems!

Good Question
