I remember years ago we had an Iranian exchange wrestler stay with a good friend of mine...
he wouldn't put ice in anything...
and only drank warm room temp beer...
also saw somewhere that Americans are just about the only culture that sucks on ice cold stuff when its hot and hot stuff when its cold... (dont get me wrong there is something about a giant mug of killer coffee on a wintery cold day that just soothes the soul...)
it takes calories and energy to get the water to a usable temperature... could be the source of the cramping... think of it as eating snow...
