Assalamu 'alaykum wa Rahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
Allamah Ibnul Qayyim رحمه الله has mentioned that the habit of Nabi salallahu alayhi wasallam was that of not drinking immediately after eating as this is harmful to the digestion process. However, if there is a pressing need to drink immediately after that, then only drink enough to quench the thirst. One may then drink after some time elapses.
And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best Wassalamu 'alaykum
