Now, you can agree or not with me about the "not drinking water during the day" part. But apart from that, if you indeed used Ramadan as it was intended, you wouldn't actually gain weight (and losing a lot of muscles) during it (like in reality all those in the UAE do who "celebrate" it..)

If you actually just ate modest at sunset and at sunrise, your body would quickly get used to that, and after a few days, you would indeed feel better and not have those pains that the "twice a day stuff your face" people get..

If you want to celebrate Ramadan in true spirit, then do it. But don't eat huge buffets of luxury food that no poor man ever could afford.



As for me, I was talking about not drinking water in general (the lounge part aside) - not alcohol - during the day. I'm still missing the part where that would somehow help to be a better person..

But it's kinda silly if you serve alcohol during the (day) flight, and then upon landing at 5pm you're refused..
