Water,coffee,tea: BUT not a lot of sense in fasting for cholesterol test. We have always done it that way in medicine and docs and labs are set in their ways. Current literature notes that the only number that varies in non-fasting state is Triglyceride level which may even be misleadingly low when fasting. The only general test that requires fasting is glucose test. Even then, we have good tests to get around that
