Take the 2-minute tour ×  Perhaps this is a simple matter that I
should be embarrassed not to know (which I am even if it isn't
because I need to learn hilchos b'rachos better and always
forget to look this question up) but....:  If I am drinking
beverage with my meal and have decided I am finished eating but
would like to continue drinking what is the proper procedure?
Should I wait to bentch (say birchas hamazon) until I have
finished drinking, bentch and continue drinking with a berachah
achronah as necessary, bentch make another berachah (l'vatalla?)
and then a berachah achronah, or otherwise?  (Of course I am not
asking l'maaseh, but the answer will hopefully point me in the
right direction, and remind me to study the topic from the
sources and ask any relevant sheilos.)  share|improve this
question Simple solution: Bentch on a kos and then the brachot
on the wine/grape juice will exempt all other beverages. –
