I can’t speak for OP, but most fasts of this kinds allow drinking water at the very least, and sometimes even light broths like chicken broth. Religious fasts, on the other hand, often don’t even allow drinking water.

- javagram 7y agoFWIW this depends on the religion, traditional Christian fasts usually did allow water even in their strictest forms https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Fast https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Fast Although as others pointed out, Ramadan in Islam does not.
