Well I like the Indian tradition, yet here in the US we eat, drink and do lots of things standing. There seems to be no short term effect, though I don't believe anyone has monitored long term effects.

Eating or drinking while standing is not harmful. the only way its harmful when u eat or drink while laying on ur stomach or back (that way its also difficult to get anything in..!)
The Indian Tradition of eating while sitting,.. has not much to do with health,.. only that when u eat while sitting ur body is at rest and the food u r eating is much easily digested.
also, there are some religious reasons in Indian Tradition for this as well, 'coz for us Indians food is a blessing of god to us. and we should take the blessings with all respect and should be thankful for it. and the reason y it is said not to eat while standing is that when u eat while standing u r not giving it as much respect.

I dont think that drinking water or having food in the standing position is harmful. In india people insist on sitting down to have any kind of food is because they treat taking food to offering puja to the god's.

I can't see what the harm could possibly be to eat or drink standing up and being perfectly still.

what are you talking about? the only way its dangerous to eat is if your laying on your back and eating soup b/c you might drown...plus you'll probably make a mess eating while laying on your back.
anyhow either way the food is traveling the direction its suppose to...so there is no harm, unles you aren't physically able to chew and stand at the same time.
