I have this stupid notion that only warm drinks provide energy/stimulation.
There is zero facts to support it, but that's what I choose to abide by.
Sounds like why Chinese people drink hot water.
Dang old Dao Yin typa stuff man
Used to work with a chap (very white aussie). He'd always drink hot water and take Chinese herbal meds for everything.
Never met a person who would get sick more than him.
poison has a tendency to make people sick
Oh yeah. He used have a hacking cough and would take some weird shit for it. He'd be 100% certain that the medicine helped to cure the cough after like 4 weeks.
4 weeks!!!
Depends on the weather. If it's hot there is a temp threshold the drink must be below, in all other conditions hot drinks are preferable
Peak of summer, I'm still doing a hot coffee.
Or a nicely boiled Red Bull
