After I work out I drink a water bottle out of the fridge because I feel I like the taste better than room temperature but I want to know if it's bad to drink cold water. What do you think?

    There is a myth that it is bad to drink cold water.

    I thought this was going to be a discussion about cold therapy/cold water submersion (which I believe is potentially good)...but instead, it's about whether or not it's good to drink some cold water after a workout.

    *sigh*

    OP: Yes, drinking water, whether cold, cool, or even room temperature is mostly good. Enjoy.

    If you are also stabbing yourself in the eye with a pencil while drinking it, then yes, it's bad to drink cold water. Otherwise, it's OK.

    I like cold water too. Refrigerated > iced, IMO. (taste-wise! Nutritionally, it doesn't matter)

    I would say that is better to drink it cold than not drink it at all.

    it honestly depends.

    I've drank really cold water after a hard workout when I was super heated and sweaty and immediately got stomach cramps and had to run to the bathroom.

    I personally like to drink my water at room temperature. If you prefer it cold, then drink it cold. Your body likes it when you drink water, cold or not...
