Some people say cold drinks affect our health too. How true is that, I wonder?

  Coke with ice and a little bit of salt on a hot day would be nice!

I'm from the southern United States, so it should go without saying that I like cold drinks with LOTS of ice.

I like hot drinks scalding hot, and cold drinks should give me brain freeze.

Otherwise, I like both. Just not at the same time.

My mum told me you'll get "wind" in your stomach if you drink cold drinks.

  My doctor advises me against drinking iced drinks, but you know, in this kind of weather here, I rebel sometimes..

  Of course it's understandable. Chinese physician always discourage the drinking of anything cold for some reason no matter what the illness is???
  I will absolutely abstain from cold drinks when I have a sore throat.

  I suppose cold drinks are bad for sore throat.

I prefer cold drinks, but not too cold... unless they are slushies.
I've got a friend that won't drink anything unless its at room temperature.

hmm I don't like cold drinks, except cold water when I work out (or I'm in a tropical country). But if I make hot chocolate & it's too hot, then I add ice.

Depends on the weather. If it's cold and damp, hot drinks are great. But I wouldn't want a hot coffee on a hot summer day.

I love hot peppermint tea. As far as cold drinks, I can't understand why people add ice to a drink that has already been refrigerated and is cold anyway. All it does is water down the drink!

Very hot or very cold. I like both but not equally. I prefer cold before hot.

depends on my mood and the weather! well i mostly prefer cold drinks if i were to choose between cold or hot. I think hot drinks can only be enjoyed during really cold days. Other than that i think i find it hard to consume hot drinks.

I love hot coffee, yerbe mate, hot cocoa, and tea. As far as cold drinks go I love sweet tea (iced tea), water, and iced coffee.

  Coffee with ice is nice too, especially when blended.

Why do I have to choose? I like hot drinks and cold drinks. In fact, nothing's better than having one of each at any given time.

If I put ice in a hot drink wouldn't it be cold?

Is this like that question about the tree falling in the forest?

I love a nice hot chocolate with ice...I get the best of both worlds.
Also a good shot of whisky with ice topped up with hot water, very relaxing.
Try it...

I love trying different teas but they have to be hot. I like cold drinks too but only with a little ice. Lukewarm is supposed to be the healthiest temperature to drink at.

  Over here where it is hot, sometimes, we ordered tea with plenty of ice. It's heaven.

I have really sensitive teeth so I usually don't drink hot drinks until they cool off or iced drinks until they warm up. lol

I prefer drinking lukewarm or hot drinks. Cold drinks make my stomach aches, maybe because I'm not used to it.

In Thailand, what you need to drink cold and what you need to drink warm is pretty straightforward.
For health, everything has to be drunk at ambient temperature, or hot.
For fun, everything has to be drunk as cold as possible, even if it means putting ice cubes in cold beer... ^^

I don't like hot drinks. I don't drink tea and never figured out how something that smells as good as coffee could taste so nasty.

Generally, I don't use ice in cold drinks (it melts and waters down the drink). We keep our cold drinks in the refrigerator instead.

I've never read anything about how cold drinks affect health but I do know that drinking really hot drinks can cause cancer. I wrote a post about it.

I actually drink mostly room temperature stuff. To me it feels cold, but maybe that's because I haven't drank refrigerated liquids in a while.

As far as I know, the trouble with cold drinks is that the body, in order to utilise that drink, needs to heat it up to body temperature before it can be used for anything. So that uses more energy and delays the process of absorbing it or something. So the best temperature to actually make the thirst go away is apparently room temperature, but by golly it's not as nice.
