No I don't take sofdrinks. Anything that is carbonated I do avoid because I know it is not good for my health. Now regarding your query if cold drinks are bad for health please read this:
Drinking cold water is bad when you do it immediately after meals so it should be avoided. Cold water can change the state of things that you have eaten, and can react with them to make them harder to digest, which can cause indigestion and acid reflux. Also When we eat fatty food for instance which are liquified when eat them hot such as butter or some cheeses or any oily foods taken they will naturally solidify when cooled down by cold water intake chances are it will clogg our arteries and may cause heart attack. Normally when we eat these things the heat in the stomach is enough to keep them in at least a semi liquid start long enough for them to be broken down. The digested food can soon leave the stomach and pass through the rest of the digestive system to be converted into energy.
So cold water is not bad but it should not be taken immediately after meal and also must be taken in moderation or else it will bloat your stomach. The cold softdrinks and any carbonated drinks...certainly they are bad...they will hurt your stomach badly.

I am having so much fun on drinking a lot of cold drinks and soft drinks is one of them, shakes for fruits, and even the coffee in the Starbucks would do a lot and ice cream and I think it would only give an effect to those people who are not use on drinking cold drinks......

As far as scientific research you do not get cold's by being exposed to the cold. So I'm guessing that it's not bad for you? Well I wouldn't say I know much, but I hope I helped out. :)

live all the scientific reasons aside. just use common sense. ur drinking carbonated water with a hell lot of sugar in it. if u drink diet coke or... then also its just waste of money and your health. so use cold drinks as little as possible. just drink fresh sparkling grape juice or apple juice. it will taste great and it will give all the energy u will every need. respect your temple(body) if u have a ferrari u will only want premium petrol to put in so why put garbage in your ferrari(body...

i think it depends on different people's physical conditions. according to traditional chinese medicine, if a person is in heat excess condition, he can drink some cold drinks but if a person is in heat deficiency condition, he'd better not drink cold things or he will have stomachache or some other diseases.

Well if you are just talking about drinking drinks that are cold then no its not bad for your health. Water is the purest thing for us and that is usually drank cold. Soft drinks arent good for us though. They have a lot of ingredients that are just harmful to our health. Drinking one once in awhile isnt going to kill us but I pretty much avoid any kind of soda.

Hi yadav8797,
Yes cold drinks is bad for you if you drink too much of it as it has sugar and too sugar is bad for you, the best cold drink you can have and as much as you want is just plain cold water.

I think it depends on the type of cold drinks. If you choose Pepsi, Coke, etc.. those are carbonated drinks then not good for health. My favorite drink is Iced Tea, any type. This is really good for health as you know the effect of tea on diet. Some people drink tea for weight loss.

My favorite cold drink is CocaCola but I also drink Pepsi cola. I drink way too many of these soft drinks. I guess you could say that I am addicted to them.
