Not Drinking Cold Water Since 2009! / myLot

I went into the BPO industry in 2009 and since then I think that's when I almost totally stopped drinking cold water. I don't remember the last time I drank cold water voluntarily (except during really hot summers or when left with no other choice). I don't drink anything too hot too except when I'm sick or eat soup during the cold season. Cold water is bad for your voice especially if you are a singer or work where your voice is always used. It's one of the big no-no's of speakers/singers. Wouldn't want to damage the vocal cords or something...

When I eat out I choose to drink tepid or normal temperature water. I always opt to not have any ice put in my drinks, even sodas. I do drink cold beer, wine or other alcoholic beverages but I rarely drink them nowadays so I don't think they'd count.

How about you, can you live without drinking cold water? Or is it a staple whenever you eat?

I never drink cold water. That is because we were never initiated into it when we were young.

Oh that's nice to know. I think we only got initiated into this because of drinking soda.

Or because the summers can get really hot and sweaty without cold drinks.

I can live without it, but I don't want to!

I like fruit juice so it's always best drinking them cold.

Oh I drink some cold juice too.

Not a frequent juice drinker though so it's cool if I drink some cold ones once in a while. But usually I buy fruit shakes and not just juice.

That's right. I wouldn't want to drink warm shakes even if I just think about it. It's no fun at all.

@owstalaga Yeah I drink shakes too, and warm shakes won't taste as good I guess.

Ii have not been drinking cold water. I mostly drink room temperature water or if the weather is too hot I drink just mildly cold water. Cold is bad and worse is cold water which can harden your arteries apart from ruining vocal chords.

Oh I didn't know it could also harden arteries... Another good reason I don't drink cold water then.

I started doing that because i always had cough when drinking cold water in the hot weather. Sometimes it can give me a sore throat. I drink cold water because it is hot in the Philippines.

Hehe, yeah, in the past year or so I would drink cold water or juice because of being out in the hot sun for longer periods of time during summers. Otherwise if I am just indoors i wouldn't do it.
