    Under what circumstances is it permissible to eat outside the Sukkah?

    A nosh? (What constitutes a nosh?) A drink? A meal?

    If you are inconveniently utilizing a neighbors succah, does it affect when you can eat outside of it?

    You can have less than a K’beitza of bread/Mezonos and as much of anything Shehakol or Aadamah as you want outside the Sukkah. It’s best to eat absolutely everything in the Sukkah though (even water) if possible. Using a neighbors Sukkah in theory shouldn’t make a difference but probably does in regards to the Chumra of having everything in the Sukkah.

    You can eat anything inside if it’s raining/too uncomfortable to be in the Sukkah for a variety of reasons.

    The prevalent minhag is to eat all but mezonos/hamotzi(hagufen?) outside of the sukkah, unless you are being koveya seuda. But ask you LOR.

    Dont know of any dispensation regarding using a neighbors sukka.

    Sam: Without ones own Sukkah, the chumra of always eating and drinking everything in the Sukkah is inapplicable?

    And how and when does the chumra of not eating or drinking even a drop of food outside the Sukkah work and apply to?

    What do you mean how and when? If you can do it, great. If you can’t you shouldn’t starve yourself over it.

    It’s a mitzvah to eat and drink everything, even a cup of water, in the Sukkah.

    Dr. Seuss: See the other thread. Once again, you are misusing the word “Mitzvah”, this time in a much more important fashion.

    See the answer given you in the other thread regarding your unwarranted limiting usage of the word mitzvah.

    Your statement here implies that you are fulfilling the specific Mitzvah of living in a Sukkah even by drinking water in a Sukkah, which would imply that you can (should) make a Bracha on it, which is 100% false. It is a good thing to drink even water in the Sukkah and there may even be a Kiyum of a Mitzvah (maybe), but just calling it a Mitzvah and leaving it at that can have serious repercussions. Also, calling it a “Mitzvah” implies that you are Over on the Asei of Yeshivah B’Sukkah if you don’t drink water in a Sukkah, which is patently false.

    Your assumptions of all those implications is not correct.

    Also, you make a brocha of leishev b’succah on it.

    Chas V’shalom. Making a Leishev on a cup of water is a Bracha Levatala.

    On a drink of water? Show us a source. I have never heard anyone hold this way, nor have I ever learned this. So, again, please tell us the source for this.

    It’s a mitzvah to wash hamotzi every day, including Chol HaMoed, in the Sukkah.

    I respectfully disagree, I don’t think that the commenter or anyone here associates mitzvah with the bracha.

    Although I get your point, the commenter meant that there is schar if you eat anything in the sukka. Not that this is the chiyuv.
