Does anyone else have this very bad habit ?? I am completely incapable of drinking water without chewing all the ice up. It's damaged my teeth over the years, and is only getting worse.

I've read psychobabble on the net about the different reasons people chew ice, but none of them agree with each other, so who knows...

It runs in families too. My Dad, oldest brother(his daughter) and sometimes my other brother all chew ice.



What's your take on this ? Do you chew ice or do you think people who do chew ice have mental problems ?

I don't really chew ice. I will suck on it for a while until it's small enough to crunch it by biting it. However, I don't do this every time I have ice. I mainly do this if it's hot outside and the drink I had was also served outside.

I do it sometimes, but not everytime I drink. I do have a fascination with ice though. I add it to almost everything I drink (including orange juice)....and lots of it too.

even milk ???

Sounds like you prefer your drinks really cold. Have you ever tried one of those ice cups ? The ones that have a liquid in the liner, and you freeze it ? They're cool (or should I say cold).

Some carbonated drinks tend to lose their fizz when ice is added. I got this over-sized cup that I put a can or bottle in, then dump crushed ice all around it. Keeps the drink ice cold without putting ice in it. (I should patent this!)
