I had kept my metal bottle in the car which was parked in sunlight for long hours. I got into the car and I was parched so I drank that warm ass water and it didn’t feel good and it took me 7-8 big sips to actually feel like i drank any water.

I’m not even a subject matter amateur, much less an expert, but possibly a contributing factor? I’ve read we don’t have dedicated moisture sensing nerves – our bodies use cold sensing nerves (and some others?). It’s not the most accurate sometimes. Maybe cold water results in higher activation of a “there is water” response.
I googled it to see if there’s any evidence. It seems easily provable/disprovable. Couldn’t find any, but there’s a previous thread that says it is psychologically, but not physiologically, more hydrating.
