Yes, but only if you drink very hot or cold water with lemon or honey on an empty stomach.
According to preventive medicine doctor Alexandra Zhukovskaya, there is nothing wrong with the habit of drinking water right after waking up. It is best to drink clean water at room temperature or slightly warm on an empty stomach in the morning.
However, very hot or cold water with added lemon or honey can irritate and damage the stomach lining. Regular consumption of such water on an empty stomach may eventually lead to gastritis or a trophic ulcer of the stomach.
