Does the 30-minute drinking restriction for meals count when you drink protein shakes?

I was told you dont have to wait 30 mins before having water after a protein shake, but most of the time it is still close to 30 mins since I feel full from the shake.

I was told that there was no restriction, drinking is drinking. If you feel comfortable starting water after finishing the shake the go for it. No restriction before at all.

No, since a protein shake is a liquid, there is no reason to wait before taking in more liquids.
