The goal of a bible fast is to afflict the soul and mortify lust and carnality through the help of the Spirit, as you seek God to behold His glory.
Drinking water (only water) during a fast does not nullify that goal. Calories comfort carnal cravings and taste fuel fleshy lust.
Water is tasteless and calorie-less. So it doesn't sabotage the work of a fast on the soul. But anything with calories and/or taste (whether solid or liquid) breaks the fast and converts it to dieting.
As I ♥ to say:
Fasting without prayer is hunger strike; and fasting with anything besides water only is dieting.
So NO, water doesn't break your fast or sabotage its goal.
Hope this helps.
