    cold water has hurt my stomach since i was a kid. It also gives me really bad hiccups. My doctors never took me seriously about cold water when i was growing up.

    As a kid I often got chest pain when I had cold drinks or ice lollies, which I later discovered was indigestion. I remember watching something on tv when I was young that said it is better for you to drink water at room temperature than chilled. I don't remember the reasons why, but I am sure if you googled it you would find out what they are.

    cold water sets my teeth on edge. it freezes them, stand it on the side in your kitchen for a bit then drink it, you should then be ok.
