I made a mistake and drank coffee during the fast

Question

This morning, by mistake, I forgot that today is the fast of the 10th of Tevet and drank coffee. What should I do? Should I continue fasting or is there no point?

Answer

Hello,

It is obligatory to continue fasting as usual.

Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim, Siman 568, Seif 1
If one vowed to fast on this day and forgot and ate, he should complete his fast; the same applies if it was a fast due to a dream or a public fast.
