Is Ramadan a Dry Fast?

A real fast is no food, at least no food. And often when you're reading about fast, especially religious fast and other fast, talking about dry fasting. Vipassana retreats are almost as kind of similar to the Ramana fast in terms of how long it is. So they only eat breakfast and a tiny lunch in a short time; rest can be 18 hours per day. There's a mental and spiritual benefit to fasting, a very strong one.
