I've heard that one should wait 3 hours after a meal before taking up exercise of any sort. Does that apply to drinks such as milk, coffee, tea, etc.?

yes it applies to any thing you eat. but its okay if you only drink a little amount. but you don't have to wait three hours, 1 is enough. cuz if you exercise right after you eat you might get cramps.

You have heard wrong. You may feel like burping a little bit of your beverage if you drink it right before, but 15 minutes should be fine if you don't drink a whole lot. As far as eating, Some people need a little more time, but 1 hour max for a reasonable meal, 30 minutes for a small meal.

No, you do not need to wait that long. I would not eat a large meal before exercising because you may feel sluggish, have nausea, and your blood will be shunted to your stomach instead of your muscles. Have a small snack about an hour before you work out. Drink water as well so you are well hydrated.

sometimes, it all depends on how much you drink, others will say no you can go a head after 15 minutes. I heard that if you exercise before you eat it helps your body burn more fat. The best advise is from a doctor or one of those fitness people;)
