Question
A person did not recite Birkat Hamazon, and several minutes have passed since his last meal, and he is hungry again (in this case, he can no longer recite Birkat Hamazon). Does drinking water count as a continuation of the meal, and should the minutes be counted from the time of drinking the water? What if the water was drunk only for taking medicine?
Answer
Count the minutes from the time of drinking the water, but drinking for medication is not considered drinking (and count the minutes from the previous drinking or eating).
