but to be honest in the blistering sun i am partial to a nice ice cold drink ^_^
Hi Zeph, I have to disagree with what you have put above, from research that I have read when ingesting cold liquids the bodys metabolism is reportedly raised to warm the water and futher work is required for the body to absorb the fluid, Cold water is also ingested more quickly and leaves the stomach faster than room temperature water which is great for athletes who exercise/compete in hot temperatures as this can help in preventing dehydration....
