Hot/warm water
 

Who here doesn't mind hot/warm water and who hates it?

I know a few people that hate drinking hot/warm water, but I love it. Only when I'm feeling sick/cold, of course. I have an itchy throat right now and I don't know what I'd do without hot water.

I like hot better than warm because... warm doesn't feel as "complete".

And when I talk about hot, I mean drinkable hot, not so hot that it will burn your throat.

Always room temperature for me.

I love drinking ice cold water. Warm is for things like tea, and hot makes me choke.

I like doing the dishes with hot water though, my mom doesn't see how I do it.

Hot water is meant to clean the dishes better than cold water...

i guess i dont mind either.. but often room temperature is good enough for me

Yeah but some people don't like washing them with hot water. When it comes to hand washing.

I totally do the warm water thing when I learned that it's better for your body...

I only drink hot water when I get my annual throat infection every winter. Oh no, here it comes now! *ducks*

How is drinking warm water better for your body? I'm genuinely curious. Do you have some sort of citation?

It causes less stress on your body. If you drink cold water, then your body has to work to heat it up before you can actually use it. If you just drink it warm, then your body doesn't have to work to use it.

:p

we always just have room temperature water at my house

I burn easily so I can't drink hot water... and I only really drink warm water my my tummy hurts. D;

Otherwise cold/room temperature for me.

Burn easily, as in externally right? I've never heard of anyone experiencing internal burning. o.o

NVM if you don't want to share.

O_o Like burning your tongue...? Sensitive to hot water... almost died drinking hot chocolate the other day. :C

O.O You're speaking figuratively right?

And okay, I get it.

I have also heard you should never drink anything cold when you eat. It was something about the cold affecting the way our body handles the fat in the food. But I am by far no expert on the matter, so not sure how true it is.

I think the hot/warm vs cold water thing is a matter of which seems to soothe your throat better. I find hot/warm drinks soothe my throat when it's sore much better, while colds seem to irritate it. Cold drinks numb my throat, which helps for a little but generally my throat comes back feeling a little worse. On the other hand, hot/warm drinks help with the inflammation and phlegm I get from a sore throat. This is based on what I experience. Can't give citations cause it's based on old home (not my home) remedies.

However, I can confirm the calories your body wastes heating cold water doesn't really factor in. I'm sure that process uses less than 1 calory.

Doesn't hot water have iron in it? o_O

Hmm I like taking showers with hot water, like soup thats hot/warm, but hate hot water :O I dont really like cold water either, unless its freezing cold :D

I hate rain >.>

Me too, I dislike rain even though we're always in a drought here. I like nice sunny weathers *0*

Warm/hot water is better for you because it helps food stay longer in your stomach, so you can get the most nutrients out of the food you ate. However, cold water acts a stimulant to your stomach, causing food to exit about 5 times faster, which leads to excessive weight due to small amount of nutrients absorbed originally, therefore requiring you to eat more food in order to supply with sufficient amount of daily nutrient intake.

This is how all those fast food restaurants became billionaires: they almost never serve any hot beverages, only iced drinks with the fast food, which leads customers to quickly become hungry again.

Hmm btw I was talking about drinking water D: It sounded like you thought this was about the weather Dx

yep i hate those hot days today it rained and was cool the rest of the day. the rain woke me up at 3am such a nice day i had sun is evil even though we need it ..........moon ftw!!!!!!!!

Nope. Just was throwing that in there, as another form of weather that's acceptable for myself. [I dispise sweating] @_@

Win, win, win.

That sounds ridiculous to me, do you have a source?

I like hot water more, unless in a plastic bottle. Ewwww, plastic-flavored water!

I don't think I ever drank hot water... Not sure if I even drank warm water (unless it's a bottle that's been left in the sun too long or something...).

But I voted based on how I like my tea, which is anything is fine with me. Just depends on what I'm eating and the weather.

o.O

<-------- water addict

Srry I dont unless you can read Russian.

I like cold water >.> Like ice cold.

I have a water bottle(Totally from Wallgreens && Red too!), and every night when I get home and before I go to bed, I put in 8-12 ice cubes and fill it with water. I some times drink two bottles full before bed and then have one during the night so when I wake up, I can get a drink and go back to sleep. Yeahh...

My coaster is like full of water in the morning. Ya know.. condensation takes place xD
