I have fasted for three straight days on many occasions and it was pretty easy for me. Drinking zero-calorie beverages (coffee, tea, water) should be fine. This is not professional medical advice and definitely do not do this if you are an alcoholic, diabetic, or pregnant. Once you break the fast, do so with moderation.
coffee makes a lot of people poop more
They're not trying to fast. Sugary drinks (juice, non caffeinated soda, Gatorade, Pedialyte) are probably a good idea, plus calorie dense foods like energy bars.
