Drinking While Standing Due to Danger

Question

Is what is written in the Gemara Gittin 70, that it is forbidden to drink while standing for health reasons, still applicable today?

Answer

In the Ben Ish Chai, it is explained that the stringency applies only to a person who practices all three things mentioned there in the Gemara: drinking, eating, and sleeping.
