Good thread
I always drink a cup of coffee after each meal... Have done it for years.
I stopped any drinks with caffeine 15 years ago. So 'Decaf' it is for me!

Actually cold water speeds up the metabolism by "warming" the water back up to your body temp.
Do you have any articles to back up the whole "sludge" claim because i have never heard of that.
lol doing a little digging my self

My suggestion would be when posting something like this on the forum, do a little research before hand so noone gets the wrong information and these rumors can stop.

...and from one of the links in that article:
Q: The good drinking a lot of water does to your body is, of course, clear now to every one. I drink about 2 liters of water daily, but not cold water. I hear drinking cold water will burn more calories as the body has to warm itself to room temperature when intaking the water into the system. Is that right?
Doesn't drinking 2 liters of cold water harm the stomach, kidneys, or any other parts?
Your always thirsty reader
A: Dear always thirsty reader,
Our bodies do not expend calories when absorbing cold water. In order for water to hydrate the body, it need not be at room temperature, or even at the same temperature as our bodies'. As a matter of fact, the American College of Sports Medicine's Position Stand on Exercise and Fluid Replacement states that fluid needs to be cooler than ambient temperature, meaning between 59 – 72°F. Colder fluids leave the stomach more quickly than warmer ones, allowing faster rehydration. During hot weather, when we tend to lose extra fluids, beverages in this temperature range will have a cooling effect on the body. Drinking cool beverages can help to cool us from the inside.
Also, there's no need to worry: cold foods and beverages do not harm any of our internal organs, so we can feel free to enjoy them.
By the way, sweating is another way to help bring down our body temperature. During exercise, our core body temperature rises as the intensity of our workout increases. This rise in temperature initiates a process that causes us to sweat. The heat that's generated is carried through our blood to just under the skin, where sweat glands are activated, releasing fluid (a.k.a. sweat). It's the evaporation of sweat that's cooling.

The usual recommendation is to drink 64 ounces (eight cups) of water daily, and more when you exercise--but the more ice-cold water you drink, the more calories you burn. "Drinking eight ounces of cold water can burn off an additional 9.25 calories as compared to room-temperature water," adds Kearney.
http://www.watertrust.org/news_article.asp?nID=49
There have been scientific studies on water that seem to dispel many myths. For instance: drinking cold water just barely speeds up your metabolism, and drinking water before a meal does not help you eat less. Drinking it during a meal only helps a little bit. But what science did uncover is that when you eat foods naturally high in water, like fruits and vegetables and soups, you will signal the brain that you are full and eat less.
Roughly a 5% increase is what they found in some of the articles i came across.
