A member asked:

Is it bad to drink water first thing in the morning (on empty stomach )?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No it is ok: It is not bad to drink water first thing in the morning. Drinking water does not harm you, no matter what time of day you drink it. You can drink water on an empty stomach any time you want.
