Islam doesn't have any such rule where you don't sit while you drink in the day but you do at night...rather it asks you to sitdown anytime when you drink or eat something irrespective of what the time is

Islam doesn't make any difference about is it a day or night when drinking water. It should be sitting regardless of the time.

Hi everyone , well, actually we were taught to drink while sitting and divide our drink to three stages, you drink once then you breath, twice then you let the water go down for a sec then the third time !

don't ask me about scientific explanation because I was taught by my religion "Islam" to do so and I never found out why and that's the reason I'm looking for some answers on the web
thank you !

Water contains dihydrogen monoxide, which is extremely dangerous to the pancreas if it is absorbed through the trachea. To prevent contamination, it's best to drink water slowly while in a squatted position. Sitting is usually fine, unless you're prone to acid reflux. Standing is the worst way to drink water. People who drink water standing often rupture the pancreas, causing toxic chemicals to seep into their blood supply and damage brain tissue.

Scientifically, drinking while standing lets water hit the lower part of the esophagus strongly & by time this leads to a dilation and relaxation of the sphincter that connects the esophagus and stomach, which finally leads to a medical condition called "GERD: GastroEsophageal Reflux Disease" in which the acids in the stomach pass backward through the "relaxed" sphincter and start "burning" the acid-intolerant esophagus. This leads to the sensation of heartburn that most of people complain of. And that's why drinking while sitting is much better for us.
