Spoiler alert: taking pill while lying on your right side was the best.
However, standing upright was second best - and is very important for
certain drugs, like alendronate for osteoporosis, when you should NOT be
lying down.

Most pills do not start working until the stomach ejects their contents
into the intestine. So the closer a pill lands to the lower part of the
stomach, the antrum, the faster it starts to dissolve and empty its
contents through the pylorus into the duodenum, the first part of the
small intestine. If you're aiming a pill for this part of the stomach,
posture is critical to both gravity and the natural asymmetry of the
stomach.
