Look, I’m not saying you should never have a cold drink on a hot day. Of course you should. Life is about pleasure.
But for daily hydration? For your digestion? For not feeling like you’ve been punched in the throat? Room temperature wins. It’s the quiet, unassuming hero.
So go ahead, pour yourself a glass. Let it sit for five minutes. Take a sip. Feel the calm. And when your friend asks why you’re drinking “warm water like a weirdo,” just smile.
You know the truth. The ice was a lie. And your stomach is finally at peace.
