Ice cold water when it's really hot and regular cold water in normal situations

[@blackoutamvs6550]

100% Cold water for the win. Its normally over 30°c where I live, so room temperature is normally warm water.

I find room temp water is more thirst quenching and cold water is more refreshing. If I'm thirsty, the former is better, and if I'm hot, the latter is.

To think that this was by far the most heated argument during the episode where they revisited some of their "hottest take" is just something else, saved the best for last

[@eternalblaze87]

I also agree with Connor. Room temperature water is just actually better on your throat in general where cold water apparently constricts vocal chord muscles.

[@tealing_]

well shit im screwed then i love cold water 😭😭 it always feels 10x more refreshing even if its a cold day

[@eternalblaze87]

​@@tealing_ I didn't notice this reply since I don't use KZbin like that. But just wanted to reply to say that the thing with your vocal cords doesn't matter for like- 90% of people unless you happen to need your vocal cords in perfect condition for singing/voice work or something but if that's not you, don't worry lol. You can still enjoy ice cold water - just that if we're talking optimal drinking experience, then undoubtedly room temperature is superior.

[@msekiller64]

Lightly chilled water is my go-to close to room temperature but not actually cold. It's just a little chilly

[@lightlezs7048]

People seem to be slightly confused, room temperature water is not anywhere close to being warm, it still feels cold and refreshing, since "room temperature" usually means it's around 15° celsius colder than your body temperature. Even if your room is 30° and you're sweating like hell, the water from that room will STILL feel somewhat cold to the touch and refreshing.

[@fancehdonneh1584]

In what world is room temperature 15°C???

[@fancehdonneh1584]

Also, the last sentence makes no sense. If your room is 30C then that is NOT considered room temperature plus if you leave water in a 30C room, then that water will be considered very warm. Room temp is around 20C-25C, which can be classified as slightly warm to warm, nowhere near to be considered as cool or cold.

[@lightlezs7048]

@@fancehdonneh1584 "15° colder than your body temperature" is what I said. Room temperature is usually implied to be around 20°, the body temperature is around 36° and you know the math after that.

[@lightlezs7048]

@@fancehdonneh1584 The sense of what's warm and what's cold is relative, our bodies don't measure actual degrees, just how much is something colder or warmer compared to the body (or body part) temperature. Did you try holding some snow/ice for a while and then immediately washing your hands with your preferred temp setting for the faucet? If you did you would know how much warmer it feels compared to usual, even if the water temp is exactly the same as what you're used to, that's because your hands are cooler than normal, and the temperature sensing nerves feel a greater difference in temperature than usual. In that same way 30° c water just won't feel warm, it won't be particularly refreshing for you, but it objectively speaking is still lower in temperature than your body and will still cool you somewhat (also because it's good at heat transfer, of course)

[@fancehdonneh1584]

​@@lightlezs7048yes whether one feels cold or warm is rather subjective but there's always one general consensus, that 30C is definitely considered AT LEAST warm. And back to room temperature argument, even tho that yes water lower than your body temp can cool you down, that's not the point to some people. Here's the thing, if I want to feel like I am being cooled down, such as to make my brain (nerves) detect such a thing, then room temp water or anything above that (but still lower than body temp) is a no go. If you want to cool down your body for the sake of "just cooling it down" then sure that'll do the bare minimum for you. So to many people, having cold or iced water is way better because your brain will receive the "feeling" better and you are more likely to feel like you are being cooled down.

[@tomhubbard8510]

Somehow the talk about antartica went from being flat-out wrong to kind of accurate. Connor's knowledge is significantly better than I expected. 1. Antarctica is an entire continent (of rock) covered in ice. One of the exciting things about the ice melting is it is revealing lots of ancient fossil deposits (including tropical tree ferns). 2. Polar ice accumulates from snowfall (atmospheric water that has evaporated from land and the ocean). It is fresh water. When water evaporates it leaves the salt behind. You will also find that the lighter isotopes of Hydrogen and Oxygen will also be present in that ice. (Water containing the heavier elements precipitates out before reaching the poles due to being slightly heavier). 3. Yes salt water freezes (around -40°C). Sea ice can be salty. 4. The oldest Antarctic ice we have sampled is around 800,000 years old. No, it does not all melt in cycles. 5. There have been points in time where there has been no landmass at the poles (eg pangea). This leads to a runaway greenhouse effect, as there is nowhere for (reflective) ice to accumulate. Ocean at the poles is a great way to heat up the planet. Megafauna tends to appear when the planet is hot, with land clumped around the equator (promotes hot climate and central deserts). 6. Volcanic springs... not a thing. A spring is anywhere where the water table meets the ground.

SO There's actually a good amount of science behind Refreshment. First, connor is correct in that you shouldn't drink ice-cold water when your hot or when your working out. It doesn't ALWAYS trigger it, but, it can trigger a stomach ache and cramps. The reason is that the cold water hits the nerves in the stomach and esophagus and because your body is already hot, it's like when you put ice on a piece of hot metal, the metal reacts by suddenly contracting and can cause the metal to crack or shatter. We learned this in high school track too, you shouldn't drink super cold water and you should chug it either, both can cause cramping and stomach pain. Sour/Acidic drinks are shown to produce the most saliva in our mouths, that's why lemonade and citrusy things are very refreshing, because our body reacts to it's need for water by drying it's mouth out, so you drink something that produces more saliva. Carbonated drinks are also very refreshing because the CO2 mimics this feature. Bitter drinks can also do this, but not really to the extent that a Sour one does.

[@urphakeandgey6308]

Cold for refreshment. Room temp for hydration. Also, room temp water is not "warm." Go outside on a hot day and leave a couple room temp bottles out to warm up. THAT'S warm. Actual room temp water is usually still cool to the touch and refreshing. Also, room temp is better for hydration cuz you'll typically drink more and not trick your body into feeling refreshed from a shock of cold.

[@camelliasinensis219]

Water sommelier is a real occupation actually. Natural mineral water always tastes slightly different based on what spring it’s from. Europe has a lot of actual mineral water brands as well (which unlike most American brands aren’t purified water with additives like Dasani or Aquafina but actual natural mineral water). I mean there is a reason why you might prefer certain brands of bottled water as well. Either way I think Connor mostly talks about just normal tap water temperature water, that you got after you let the tap run a bit cold tbh, not actually lukewarm water. I prefer that to iced water generally as well.

[@sashogenchev9700]

Room temperature water is better

[@janoswozniak]

I know this isn’t true for everyone but truthfully every single person I’ve known that prefers ice cold water over room temp water doesn’t drink that much water on a daily basis. I drink water because I drink a LOT of it everyday and like Connor said, I simply can’t enjoy drinking water when there’s a threshold of how much I can drink before it’s just painful.

[@dylanalogy1456]

[@lightlezs7048]

The tongue objectively speaking has an easier time "tasting" anything when it's as close to your body temperature as possible, so freshly cooked food or food that's straight out of the fridge will have less flavor (which isn't necessarily worse, just depends on preference, some people prefer milder tasting foods)

[@afronerd3535]

I like water cooler than 20C (68F) but way warmer than fridge temperature.

[@ShadowEclipex]

I dunno how true it is, but cold water is more hydrating than warm or room-temp water. I can understand how cold water can be hard to drink a lot of. For me at least it is a physical reaction. If it's too cold could cause brain freezes or cool down my body to quickly. I also prefer my water with Ice for this reason.

[@TheDalanon]

[@garrettdesoto1740]

I'm actually with Connor for the same reason Joey says he needs it cold - hot weather. I'm from the Southern US and spent a lot of time outside in the heat doing sport-related activities, and cold water was the worst. Another comment mentioned that your core body temperature has to stay constant, so when you drink cold water your body has to heat up to counteract that. Too much cold water caused a fair bit of heatstroke, so we were always advised to use room-temp water instead. Your body also has a really hard time absorbing ice cold water, so very cold water needs to heat up before it actually gets absorbed and starts hydrating you. You can verify this by paying attention to your stomach after having cold water while slightly overheated, because you can physically feel the water sloshing around in your gut. It's deeply unpleasant, and made me swear off cold water forever. Besides, the only drinks whose flavor is temperature-dependent are ones with strong bitter, sour, or astringent components, which some theories suggest is due to non-neutral pH. Since purified water has no such flavor profile, it categorically tastes the same at any temperature.

From a science point of view cold water actually isn't good for you reasons being sensitive teeth and it may affect your immune system, your gut health with changes of temperature. In chinese medicine they also say cold water makes you sick, but that's not science that's just chinese medicine but I have to agree with them that room temperature seems to be more universally accepted especially in asian countries and other parts of the world where they don't really have access to cold water.
