When you’re not cold, cold drinks feel good. It just so happens that “good feeling” is practically the same chemical cocktail that is released by the brain when you meet basic needs for survival.

Evolutionarily, cold sources of water in nature (glaciers, wells, streams from mountains, etc) were more likely to be pure and safe than stagnant tepid water.
