off-topic Do you like to drink cold or warm water?

[Reelz]

Temperature plays an important role when you attempt to stay hydrated. Many people choose to consume cold water to enhance their metabolic function along with increasing their energy but warm water remains the preferred choice for the digestive system. What's your preference?

 

[ActionAce]

My choice is always to stay hydrated with cool drinking water. After completing demanding physical activities, icy cold water serves as a drink that I find very satisfying.

 

[Ashake]

I begin each day with a preference for warm water. The warmth of water stimulates the digestive process. Warm water remains a better drinking choice for me than cold water.

 

[Ja sa bong]

I prefer only cold water. It's only when I'm suffering from a serious cough I would stay away from drinking cold water permanently until I'm better.

 

[Zani]

I take cold water. I've got a body system that doesn't align more with warm water, and taking more cold water is the preferred choice for me always.

Whenever I drink water, it is because I am looking to stay hydrated. I always find water that is cool or chilled in the fridge to be my preferred way to drink water.

I guess in a sense you could say I do also drink warm water too when I make cups of tea throughout the day to drink.

I really don't like warm water, but I'll drink if I have to. I prefer to drink iced cold water.

I drink straight filtered tap water, whatever that temperature is. Room?

The only exception where I'll pour in some ice is after a shower. I'll need to cool down quickly or I'll continue to sweat. And, iced water will cool me just enough internally to do it. That said, I'll follow it up with some tap water to hydrate before bed.

My mom has been shouting at me that cold water is not good for my health. But I can't just help it. It is cold water for me. Even on very cold days, I still drink cold water.

Ice cold water. Nothing beats it.

my grandmother insists warm water with lemon detoxes better.
i usually drink warm water because there was not a lot of electricity in Haiti.
After cholera outbreaks, we boil water anyway – so I drink both.

I love to drink cold water but sometimes I might go for a water with room temperature because cold water always has a negative effect on my throat.

 

[Harsh World]

cold water always has a negative effect on my throat.

What kind of effect?

Certain things make my throat "itchy", so I might be able to relate. Just never heard of cold water doing that, as opposed to hot water — like in tea and coffee, rather — burning the throat.

 

[Yama]

During the summer, I drink room temperature water, and during winter I drink lukewarm water. I don't drink cold water. I don't have any health issues drinking cold water, but I avoid it because it is recommended that the right temperature of your drinking water should be similar to your body temperature.

Since my country is always extremely hot, I drink most of the time cold drinks like water and juices. But during rainy days, I prefer to drink hot milk.

I have come to discover that warm water is the best kind of water to drink. I enjoy cold water more though but common sense prevails that I need to stay healthy. That's why I stick t warm water.
