Do you prefer your water ice cold or room temperature?

For drinking that is. Not showers.

Just curious after a discussion with a friend who is French and will only drink room temperature water.

Ice cold

Ice cold. Can't stand any soft drink that has gone warm.

Ice cold ❄️

Room temp for water.

All other cold drinks need to be ice cold.

Room temperature but on really hot days when it's too warm from the tap I will add ice

In between I think, just cold,
Don't like it room temperature but I have sensitive teeth

Room temperature

Definitely ice cold. I ❤️ the filtered chilled water dispenser in our big fancy fridge. I measured the temperature of our tap water a few days ago, it was 21C even after I had allowed it to run for ages. It tasted rank & was totally unrefreshing. 🤮

Somewhere in between, cold but not icy.

Room temperature but that goes for salad and sandwiches too

Exactly this.

Fridge cold

We have a water filter jug in the fridge and have done for about 20 yrs - our tap water is full of lime scale and is horrible so the water is always cold and refreshing- nothing worse than tepid water from the tap.
I think a lot depends on the quality of your tap water though - moved from rural Lancs to Yorkshire donkeys years ago and the water here is dreadful- soon after we had moved here I went back to visit my Nan in Lancs and filled up 2x2 litre bottles from her tap and brought them home

Oh definitely ice cold. I don't drink tea or coffee- never have - and when I was young, I used to drink pints of ice cold water in the winter apparently I love it.

It depends where I am! Water tastes so different in different parts of the UK, or Europe. I generally prefer ice cold though. Thames Water is horrible, so ice cold is the only way I can drink it. Most of the rest of the country is OK room temperature.

Room temperature for still and very chilled for sparkling.

Funny. The water that comes out of my tap is supplied by Thames Water and I finid it ok without filtering. When we visit our inlaws in Suffolk the water out of the tap is cloudy and tastes of chlorine.

I'm funny with my Diet Coke. I hate it cold. Dh will ask me do you want one of your "warm' cokes ( it's room temp)

I would have said room temperature but I recently starting keep a bottle of tap water in the fridge and it has been a revelation!

Room temperature, because i can down it without getting brain freeze.

Room temperature and I am so surprised others do the same. Usually people look at me like I have 2 heads if I ask for bottled water 'off the shelf' rather then in the fridge.

I've cold.

Ice cold water makes me need a wee. Tap cold is better.

Years ago I went backpacking round China and in the hostels there was always boiled water available to drink and to fill your water bottles. At first I thought it was disgusting, but it's surprising what you get used to.

Room temp
I like fizzy drinks colder

Cold.
