I'm pretty sure they are permitted water during fasting times for
medical reasons... they don't give up Rx meds, and no rule says you
can't take your pills with a pint of water. Once a year when I go for
blood work it's a fasting test, nothing from midnight... I try to get
an early morning appointment but not always possible, I hate having to
wait until noon without my morning coffee.
