A member asked:

Is it okay to drink water at home i use a lot of ice. any ideas?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Go for it: It has been suggested that eight glasses per day of water is good for you. It does not matter if that water is in liquid or in ice form. Ice can make the drinking of water more palatable especially on a hot day.
