Question:
If one is learning In a Bais Midrash may he drink or even eat something
Answer:
A person that is learning in a Bais Midrash may eat or drink there because it is considered tzorech mitzvah, because otherwise if he would have to go out, it would cause him to waste time, therefore it is permitted.

It might be helpful to qualify, that if the “Gabbaim” of the shul have a rule against eating/drinking in the “Bais Midrash”, then one would be obligated to follow the rule, and it would not be permitted.
