Does drinking cold water technically mean you drink more water

615 viewsChemistryOther

Since water molecules are closer together when colder so more “water” in a given amount of space(or molecules in general I think I could be wrong, I could be wrong about this whole thing) could it be reasoned that drinking cold water results in drinking more water than hot water? And if not how come?

Yes. If you drink one cupful of cold water, you’ve consumed something like 2% more water than if you drink one cupful of hot water.

Of course, that probably means you won’t get thirsty again quite as soon, so it probably won’t result in you drinking more water *over the long run*. But there was, indeed, more water in that particular cup.
