Should you avoid drinking alcohol after eating watermelon?
The old wives tale states that if you drink water after eating watermelon, the watermelon will absorb the water and swell up, causing a stomachache. This is not true for two reasons:
1) Watermelon does not absorb water. I tested this. I put a small slice of watermelon in a glass of water and left it overnight. The watermelon did not swell.
2) Even if the watermelon did absorb the water, I fail to see how it would give you a stomachache. When water is absorbed by something, the water and absorbent material still have the same mass and occupy the same amount of space as they both did before the water is absorbed. Therefore, if it would give you a stomachache when absorbed, it would also give you a stomachache when separate. The same effect could happen when you eat/drink too much of anything.
The only ill effect I could see from it (other than the above which can happen no matter what you eat), eating large amounts of watermelon and/or drinking large amounts of water can lead to water intoxication, but you'd have to eat a whole ten pound watermelon and drink several liters of water in a short amount of time for that to happen.
Bottom line: drinking a moderate amount of water after eating a moderate amount of watermelon is perfectly safe.
No.
Adult toads eat insects and invertebrates, such as flies, grasshoppers, spiders, beetles, crickets, grubs, slugs, centipedes, millipedes and worms. Larger types of toad, such as cane toads, are big enough to eat small rodents like mice as well, and small lizards. Since their introduction to Australia, cane toads have posed a great threat to native frog species, eating them as well.
Why is your watermelon white inside?

Does watermelon cause indigestion?
Too much watermelon can cause bloating, gas and diarrhea. However, watermelon eaten on an empty stomach does not create digestive problems. As fruit digests faster than any other food, the slice of fruit digests quickly and is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but its passage is blocked by the other food which is already there takes longer to digest. In the meantime the whole meal ferments and turns to acid causing gas and bloating.

What can't goats eat? Contrary to popular belief, goats can't eat just anything. Shiny leaves such as citrus and azalea are poisonous to goats. Male goats can not have too much corn.
