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.

I like cold water too. Refrigerated > iced, IMO. (taste-wise! Nutritionally, it doesn't matter)0 -
this is very bad..if you drink cold water you will immediately go into starvation mode...Please stop doing this!0

I would say that is better to drink it cold than not drink it at all.0

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.0 -
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...0
