You're not drinking hot water from the tap, right? That's a good way to get super sick.

 

[Midas]

I like my water as cold as it can be without freezing. I usually store a bottle of water in my fridge, in a spot where it's so cold that there will be small pieces of ice in it after a day.

 

[SweetDonuts]

There's nothing like ice cold water on a really hot day

 

[SgtCobra]

Yes, you really shouldn't be surprised that different cultures have different practices.

That's why I said I shouldn't yes, thanks for the confirmation.

Definitely, I see wster as something to clench the thirst and to be drank at a cold temperature, but to each his own.

 

[shadowkat]

Cold water. Or room temperature if that's all that is there.

 

[Derwind]

I drink both cold and hot water.

Both have their uses.

 

[Übermatik]

Weird.

 

[OpinionatedCyborg]

warm water is good for the healthy

Spoiler

only cold water

 

[Tagyhag]

I only really like ice cold water. Even room temp is pushing it.

 

[Lunaray]

Cold water. Unless I'm sick.

 

[ATF487]

Room temp unless the weather is really hot, then I want it a bit colder

I think warm water on its own is fucking weird, but if you put some lemon in there I could get behind it.

 

[Seiryoden]

My mother drinks hot water. Watch your mouths you slags, I'll open you up like a can of beans.

Can't abide it myself #TeamIceCold

When I'm in China, everyone looks at me weird when I ask for cold water. Usually when you ask for water at a restaurant they give you boiling water, so hot that it's practically boiling. I usually have to specifically ask for ice water to get it. Guess it's just another example of how different cultures can be.

 

[gamz]

Both. Love ice cold water and I love hot water with a slice of lemon.

 

[Wark]

I usually try to get ice cold water, if I have the chance. I just like the taste of it better than room temperature water. Supposedly, cold water hydrates you quicker because the body absorbs it at a faster pace than something that is lukewarm or hot. Apparently, since it causes a fast temperature loss, it causes your body to expend more energy to heat up - which helps people lose weight. Honestly, I don't know how accurate that is and it isn't a deal breaker. I'm not trying to lose weight anyway!

Honestly, the only benefit of hot water I could think of - aside from making something coffee or tea - is for when I need to relax my throat muscles when I'm singing. Even then, I can just drink some tea or something.

Tag fishing thread?

Who the hell would drink water hot?

It's an Asian thing. Aids digestion during a meal.

 

[RecRoulette]

Room temp for me.

This was very much a thing that stuck out to me in China as well, ha ha.

Nice refreshing glass of boiling water with dinner.

 

[Tabasco]

Ice cold water sucks IMO.

Mildly chill water is the best.

 

[mdubs]

Huh, I always figured we did it out of habit from hundreds of years of having to boil water because of lack of clean water

 

[entremet]

People drink hot water outside of tea/coffee?

what?!

 

[ForsakenLotus]

"Hot water was a bad choice."

 

[theepicoftyler]

There are several people who use the water cooler next to my desk to get hot water everyday, and they're not making tea or anything. I assume they're bad people.

 

[Phu]

Why would you make water hot and then not turn it into tea?

 

[valeo]

I used to think hot/warm water was weird, but then I gave it a go after laughing at a Taiwanese-born friend for doing it.

It's way better. It clears all the crap from your throat instantly.

Ice cold water when it's very hot - but in that situation, i'd rather a beer.

 

[Creepy]

Try drinking the hot water in Iceland...

 

[buttery fistful]

i can only drink water when the entire cup/glass/container is full of ice

 

[How About No]

Gimme the coldest iciest water you got

Why oh why would you not just make tea

 

[RdN]

Hot water was a funny choice..

But yeah, I prefer cold water. Nothing against room temperature, but cold always feels more refreshing to me.

 

[sneas78]

OP your next thread question should be " is water wet? "

 

[Media]

Sometimes I drink chicken broth like it's tea but just plain warm water? Why?

Btw, broth for tea should be a thing.

 

[pixelation]

Lukewarm water = best water.

 

[The Real Napsta]

...people drink hot water in the shower?

I don't. Higher chances of lead.

 

[NervousXtian]

Ain't no motherfucker drinking plain ole' hot water.

 

[drsoup]

coooold!

 

[PixelatedBookake]

I can't imagine someone heating up the kettle and pouring hot water in a cup just to drink it. Like, hot water is so pointless if not being used as a conduit for something dry.

 

[Fix-It Felix. Jr.]

Room temperature water only. I'd drink hot water before cold, though.

 

[itwasTuesday]

I like room temperature water. When super sweaty and out of the breath, it's the most efficient way to deliver h2o to mah belly.

 

[jwk94]

Who the hell drinks hot water outside of the shower?

You drink the water while you're showering?

 

[ReaperXL7]

Ice cold, hot water is an ingredient.

I have a feeling this is going to be another cheese sandwich thread.

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

Ice cold water, never heard of drinking hot water.

 

[Wood Man]

Cold water with a lot of ice. I love ice.

 

[Vampirolol]

I love water, it's the best thing ever. I always drink cold water, room temperature feels weird. Hot water though... that's something I'd like to try, maybe with a slice of lemon, after lunch? Doesn't seem stupid at all.

 

[How About No]

You drink the water while you're showering?

I always rinse the toothpaste out of my mouth with the shower

But to deliberately drink it out of the shower nahhhh

 

[shawnbuddy]

I go with room temperature. I like cold better but I have some issues where it causes me nausea.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Ill drink hot water if I throw a tea bag in it

 

[notsol337]

My teeth are really sensitive, so I don't drink anything cold. It sucks.

 

[vacantseas]

Cold water please

 

[XT Vengeance]

Usually just chug down cold water but I have been experimenting drinking hot water and I've noticed to enjoy it longer and more

420 was three days ago OP. Time to stop celebrating.

 

[Timeaisis]

Who the hell drinks hot water outside of the shower?

Are you drinking water out of the shower?
