Drink cold beverage or hot beverage?
I was talking to my new boss and he told me that when it's hot out, you should drink a hot drink instead of a cold drink to cool you off. I don't believe this, since I would guess (from Heat Transfer) that if you drank a cold drink your body would have to warm it up, thus making your core temperature cooler overall. I searched the internet and all I could find was that if you drank a hot drink it would make it seem cooler in comparison. Does anyone know the answer to this and could provide a link for documentation?

No idea. I do know that I like my coffee black, and cold.

I do remember seeing on some TV show quite sometime ago that a hot cup of tea was the best beverage to have on a hot day.

Pumpy Style is taking the coffee, bending you over, and splashing it all over your back.

Damn, now I'm craving a nice, cold beer. It's not too early to start drinking, is it?

My dad was a firefighter and one time a guy told him hot coffee is actually the best thing to drink on a hot day to keep cool, so Dad started doing that and it worked for him.
When I heard the story many years later, I did it too and it works for me, too. Cool/cold drinks seem to have a much shorter cooling time than hot drinks.

5 o'clock? My parents use the "it's noon somewhere" saying. 5 o'clock is for weiners.

Maybe it's because a hot drink makes you sweat, therefore cooling you down? All I know is I can't drink coffee when it's hot out...
And this cold Shiner Bock is mighty tasty right now.

Way back when I had summer jobs on farms, I learned the hard way that cold drinks while working on a hot day is a quick road to brderline heat strokes. The drink doesn't have to be real hot, just not so cold as to cause a shock reaction when your body is overheated. We would drink water that was just a little cooler than the outside temperature and found it more refrshing that way. That's not to say we didn't keep a couple of beer hidden in old well to stay cold for when thwe sun went down!

That was my first thought. The cooling down isn't worth the sweat, though.

My mother told me that the Indians drink hot tea in hot weather, and that if there's one people who know what to do in hot weather, it's the Indians. So I drink hot tea.
Whether the Indians actually do drink hot tea in hot weather or not, that's another question for a different day. My mother has never been to India, so may have made it up. Last edited by Critch : 06-18-2008 at 07:45 PM. |

I've always heard this too, though I've never seen anything scientific on it. I've just heard anecdotes that a lot of cultures in hot tropical portions of the world drink hot beverages. Either they're very wise or very stupid, I don't know.

I know that I enjoy slurpees in January more than I do in July.

I don't know about all of this... Despite which is better for you, I definitely prefer a cold drink when it's hot and a hot drink when it's cold.

The science behind it is that you raise your internal body temperature by drinking something hot, thereby making the differential between your body and the outside air less which makes you more comfortable.
It works for some people, I am not one of them. I need cool drinks almost year round. |
