A clear liquid is a liquid you can see through, I had an X Ray not long ago and they said that Powerade is the best thing to drink if you are thirsty...

Answer 20

You may drink coffee or tea, but keep in mind that the caffeine might affect you a lot more if there is no food in your stomach to temper the absorption of the substance.

If you can see through it is the guideline.  

Answer 21

no water only just had this one myself    sorryyyyyyyyyyyy

Answer 22

You'll be fine, don't worry.

A clear liquid is a liquid you can see through.

It's probably better if it is caffeine free tea, you need to relax.

Answer 23

Yes, that's fine.  Clear liquids are tea or coffee without milk, strained juices, broth, bullion, carbonated drinks.  Don't drink anything with red coloring in it.    

Answer 24

no it is not a clear liquid...they mean water...usually tea contains milk which is a food and it is also staining and contains tannin and cafeine

Answer 25

A "clear liquid" is a liquid that you can see through such as water and apple juice. Tea is probably too dark of a liquid and you might want to hold off till after your test.  

Answer 26

When i had my X ray and colonscopy i was allowed clear liquids and this including chicken noodle soup with everything sieved out! i had a pamphlet from the hospital and i asked my consulatant first

good luck
