Let's say you're eating lunch or dinner, at a decent restaurant, and drinking tea, water, or a soft drink.
The waitress is keeping your glass full. How many GLASSES do you drink during a normal, meal? I ask because I had a really great waitress last night at the new Japanese place down the road, and I think I had 5 or 6 glasses of tea.

I normally just tell the waitress to bring me a pitcher so it'll be easier on her and I don't have to wait for refills of water therefore making me a happier customer.
If they can't/don't have pitchers I ask them to bring me two glasses so when one is empty, I still have more water to drink while I'm waiting for a refill. I always drink a lot during dinner, I think its something I got from my dad––Same thing goes for eating fast |

The glasses look large, probably about 12 -14 ounces. They are filled to the top with ice befeore the beverage goes in. You're probably getting about 8 ounces of liquid per glass. I'll usually have water or iced tea. 2 glasses.

I usually drink 4-6 glasses of water when I'm out. I've had waitresses just leave the pitcher at the table for me.

I'll drink from 4-6 glasses of iced tea. I explain at the beginning that I drink a lot of iced tea. If they keep'em filled, I reward accordingly.

Unsweetened tea or water, usually 2-3 glasses. Depends on what I'm eating I suppose.

There's this Indian place i go to where they're OCD about refilling your glass after you take a drink from it. Your glass spends more time getting refilled than it does on the table. |

If it's really good sweet tea, I can drink a pitcher or two myself.
Anything else, usually one refill if that. |

I'd guess 1-2 given the constraints of poll/OQ.
If beer was in the poll, I got shit for nursing last night when the meatresess kept bring me too much meat to fit in more beer. And I took the bus down there

Of course if the waitress is sporting some nice cleavage I put the glass were she has to reach a little and I drink alot more tea.

I don't usually eat at restaurants but when I do I never even finish the glass of water they give me.
I never ask for another just because I don't need or want one. |

Quoted: How many GLASSES do you drink during a normal, meal? Normally two, but it depends what I'm eating, how long I'm there, etc. Plus it's usually beer and that's usually an expensive way to drink beer here. |

Drinking any sort of fluid with a meal is horrible for you.
A glass of wine, or a small glass of water is GTG, but for the most part it is best to avoid it. |

Keeping my glass full ... is that a euphemism for something?
On my own I go through a 12pack of lime Diet Pepsi daily, plus tea and water. If I'm awake, I'm drinking something. 3 or 4 glasses of tea at a meal is fairly normal, but I eat quick - I'm nearly deaf at most restaurants, but a "decent" restaurant implies a lack of crappy piped in music and something with acoustics that don't resemble a steel box, so add 2 or 3 to that for a place where conversation is possible. |

At least one or two, it should be refilled as much as needed though.

It depends.
I had lunch today at Texas Roadhouse and had only two glasses of tea. But on a hot summer day when I've been riding my bike all day and am parched I'll suck down the tea as fast as they can bring it. I'd say generally two to four glasses of tea per meal. |

Drinking a bit before or after a meal isn't so bad, but making your food swim in half-diluted stomach acid doesn't really do much for your digestion or extraction of nutrients. I am not claiming to be a doctor or anything, this is how I was raised and it seems very reasonable/sensible to me. Your body needs to break food down, liquids that dilute your food juice don't help. Especially caffeine which not only makes your body want to get its contents OUT, but also restricts blood flow to the bits that are working on it. Alcohol also detracts from the bodies digestive ability since now it has another job as well. You will also find kids that have the fat generally can't tell the difference between hungry and thirsty because they suck down too much fluid with a meal, muddling the difference for them YMMV. |
