A member asked:

Is it bad to drink hot beverages and then drink cold beverages after ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hot and cold: No, it's not bad to drink hot and then cold beverages. Given your body temperature, and the indifference your stomach has to these temperatures, there is no risk to doing this. But avoid scalding hot beverages as they can cause burns of the tongue and esophagus.
