I have to fast from midnight until some time tomorrow morning. I have to get blood tests taken. I know they told me I can drink a little water but not too much. How much is exactly a little bit of water? & they told me to drink in sips.

Wow, that is weird. Usually you can drink as much water as you want when fasting. I would just drink small sips like they say until you are not thirsty anymore. Please don't go thirsty, I don't think that will be good for you. Take a bottle of water with you when you get your blood drawn so you can hydrate yourself as soon as they say you can drink.
Good luck with your tests.

You should drink about 5 -8 oz glasses ,before a blood test.
