Not sure what drinks you are referring to. Liquid laxatives are the most effective for constipation: MOM, Miralax, magnesium citrate. Otherwise, prune juice or other fruit juices may help induce bowel movements.
Metamucil
Water.
The best drink to help with constipation is plain water. Constipation is made worse by dehydration. Our "high fiber" foods become slow moving clogs without adequate water. So, keeping hydrated with adequate water is very important to help prevent constipation. Another good drink for constipation is coffee. It can have the effect of stimulating the colon. Also, drinking
coffee is good for the liver, and it may help reduce the risk of diabetes. So, my answer is water and coffee. The effect of "prune juice" is mostly due to its fiber content. A fiber supplement with water added can have this same effect.

Usually the best drink that helps with constipation is actually water. Water is important to make sure that the stools remain soft and somewhat lubricated to ease in defecation. Other drinks that are helpful include juices such as apple juice or prune juice.
