Question
It is common for a person to sit for several hours and drink from time to time. Is it necessary to recite a blessing each time before and after drinking?
Answer
If one drinks a full cup and then after more than an hour drinks another cup, one should recite a blessing each time before and after, as the amount consumed requires a blessing. However, if one drinks little by little, one blessing suffices for all that will be consumed in that place.
