I like my water icy cold no matter what, and prefer my iced drinks and juices to be icy cold as well. But that's not to say a hot cup of coffee or hot chocolate is bad.

It definitely depends on the drink and the situation! I think the worst is when something is supposed to be served cold but comes lukewarm, or something is suuposed to be hot but comes lukewarm.
 
I drink my water and flavored drinks at room temperature. Very rare but will put them in the fridge for about an hour or so if need them a bit cool. Protein shakes taste better straight out of the fridge. Haha
 
Water, cold but not frozen. I’ll drink room temperature it doesn’t bother me. Milk HAS to be really cold otherwise I refuse to touch it. My mom gave me warm milk once and I didn’t like it. I can drink boxed juice warm, actually that’s how I prefer it. Soda, I can take either form it doesn’t bother me. Though sport drinks has to be cold but I’ll drink it at room temperature.
 
for the most part I like my drinks to be ice cold, no ice (unless it’s crushed ice, I don’t mind that sometimes). although I have heard that hot / room temperature drinks are better for your body then cold drinks. my mom used to tell me all the time to stop drinking cold water since it’s bad for me and that’s why they always served hot tea at Chinese restaurants with your meal. but regardless I guess it really depends on the drink and the situation, like if I’m sick I’ll definitely stick to drinking warm / room temperature water.
 
Even though the weather is starting to cool down (upper 90s Fahrenheit), ice is still a must in my household.
 
I like most drinks at around room temperature. I seem to have weird temperature perception - warm beverages my family anf friends deem drinkable are too hot to me. Once they say „ugh my tea is cold“ that’s the perfect temperature to me (I find it’s still warm). I also can’t stomach ice cold drinks - it makes me feel uncomfortable or sick. Nasty as it might sound to some - I like for example soft drinks at room temperature, tea and coffee as well, and even alcoholic drinks tjat would usually be served on ice.
 
if holding the cup/can/whatever the drink is in doesn’t start to become uncomfortable after a minute or two, it’s not cold enough for me lol. i enjoy most drinks best when they’re as cold as humanly possible. 🥶
 
I like my drinks as cold as they can possibly have before they freeze lol. that's why my mini fridge temperature is always very low (not the lowest temp but def cold). my mom likes her drinks at room temp, mostly bc health issues make it hard to handle stuff that's really cold.

funny enough, on the opposite end of the spectrum I like my hot foods literally as hot as they can be before they burn my mouth (i can actually handle hotter stuff than most people can). I'm known for making soup on the stove and eating it only about 20 seconds after putting it into a soup mug or bowl lol.
 
where possible i definitely prefer having my drinks as cold as possible, so generally ice cold yeah. i usually just drink out of my water bottle throughout the day but it's rare for me to have ice on hand, so i'll let the tap run as cold as it'll go before i fill it up
 
A little cold or ice cold is great but I am often too lazy to put ice cubes in my drink, so I usually just drink room temperature tap water!
 
I love my drinks to be ice-cold, as I find it quite refreshing. I find it extremely refreshing within a lovely glass of ice water, especially on a warm summer day. ❤
 
Somewhere between ice cold and room temperature for me. I usually just drink stuff straight out of the fridge and don't add ice unless it's water.
 
It depends on what I'm drinking, but if it's soda like Fanta Orange, any temperature from room temperature to ice cold is fine to me, but if we're talking coca-cola, it has to be ice cold or I refuse to drink it. The temperature of juice drinks such as fruit punch doesn't matter unless it's actually really warm, and warm lemonade can be pretty gross so that also has to be reasonably cold.
Even though the weather is starting to cool down (upper 90s Fahrenheit), ice is still a must in my household.
"Weather cooling down" and "upper 90s Fahrenheit" do NOT belong in the same sentence together I'd hate that so much
 
I like cold drinks but I always prefer hot coffee. I also rather not drink with ice, especially soft drinks. If I'm drinking coke or something I tend to drink it from the can if it's straight out of the fridge.
 
Take it as a cautionary tale that I love cold, cold drinks, but can't drink them because of painful, sensitive teeth. :(

I wish I'd taken better care of them when I was younger.
As someone with dental implants, I can definitely relate. Before my surgery, I remember the freezing sensation on my teeth when biting into ice cream. I love ice cold drinks.
 
I always like my drinks cold, no matter the time of year. The colder it is the better. Though I don't like ice in my drink since it dilutes the flavour too much when it melts.
 
hm besides tea, I prefer drinks to be somewhat cold. I just think it tastes better :>
