Should We Ever Put Ice In Alcoholic Drinks?

If you think of it this way you would agree that yes ice is ok in alcoholic drinks. The ones you make in the blender ans also the ice can help keep you hydrated to avoid hangovers. Alcohol dehydrates the body so adding the ice can be a water factor that can only help.

No,you shouldn't Ever Put Ice In Alcoholic Drinks.

I have never heard of there being any harm in it. So go ahead I will take mine on the rocks.

I Don't Drink Booze But I Would Think That Ice Would Keep It Chilled And Take Some Of The Bite Out Of It By Watering It Down.. Ice In Wine And Wine Coolers I've Seen People Do That..I've Seen Them Put It In Scotch Whiskey..Like Scotch On The Rocks. My Brother Was An Alcoholic And He Drank All The Hard Stuff Like Vodka And Jack Daniels. He Put Ice In The Rum And Coke And Ice In The Jack Daniels But Nothing Else.. Also Booze Dries You Up. Ice Could Stop That

I'd say most drinks are better without ice; especially mixed drinks. The "chill's" already built into those. Room temp is better for "sipping" liquors; such as Kahlua, etc. (tho I like that "On the Rocks".)  I'm just a "tea totaler", at heart, tho....so what would I know ? I think too much ice in anything alcoholic, ruins the flavor of most. Save the ice for your Cokes, Pepsis, n' iced teas. And don't get mad at me cause I like to put ice in my Arbor Mist wine. It just tastes better to me that way.

Yes, I prefer mine with ice.

I don't drink any alcoholic beverages...not even tried.

Friend avoid alcohol

Since i have never used alcohol and never will i don't really know. I would hope if you did put it in your drink it would be to either water it down and make it cool or to fill the glass so you would not drink so much at one time as a  reminder to yourself.www.chow.com

Well, it acts as a watering down agent.
It also gives you less of a drink.

I dont think we should...but i really dont no cause i dont drink alcoholic drinks

Hi Keith.NEVER,especially in a good Scotch.Don't even entertain the notion of putting ice in any malt whisky.

I go with the American school of thought- ice is nice. I particularly enjoy a whiskey on the rocks, when the ice has melted juuuust a little bit, but not enough to dilute the whiskey.

I think the little liquid-filled freeze-thingies
are better.The drink gets cold without diluting it.
Some drinks, though, ice is part of it.  
Margaritas  and Pina-colatas for example.
(anybody have a bartender's dictionary?
I can't spell that if my life depended on it).

I never do, no.

I see this as a personal preference.  For the most part, when I do drink an alcoholic drink, I usually have it over ice.

Yeah sure, it keeps it nice and cold, just make sure to drink it before the ice melts or else it'll be all watered down :D
