Doesn't it make the air temp feel cooler when you're warmer? Reverse that and you have my excuse for eating ice cream in the winter. If you cool off your insides, the outside air feels warmer.
Did they stop teaching this in elementary science classes?
There is a reason why millions of native dwellers of the Middle East and India have traditionally loved to drink hot beverages such as teas and coffees for hundreds of years. They do cool you down. A/C is much better, but lacking A/C, a hot beverage actually works in hot climates.

Completely inaccurate, of course. That's essentially the same as saying hiding in the oven will cool you down on a hot day because it makes you sweat. Whatever heat is lost from sweating will always be equal to or lower than the heat gained from the hot drink.

The actual physical difference of ingesting only a cup or two of either hot or cold liquid is utterly negligible in terms of actually changing core body temperature.
What matters is how it makes you feel, and drinking hot liquids on a cool day does create a feeling of less heat (or more coolness).
Iced Coffee in Spring & Summer
Hot Chocolate in Winter
Soup in Winter
There's a reason for it. Hot liquids warms you up inside.
Cold liquids cools you off inside.
The body is 98.6 and anything going down will be 98.6 soon enough, yes no? Are you trying to say that if I drink a cold drink I can take my temperature and it will be below 98.6, and higher on the other one?
Im in tropical Malaysia and people drink hot or cold according to their mood, not the weather. Myself, I like all hot in the morning and all cold at night--food, showers, etc., no matter what the temperature. The temps here are about a uniform 90 all the time and I might drink all-hot one day and all-cold the next, no reason to it. Im from US and I think anywhere there are big swings in temperature you get the "cold in summer, hot in winter" drinking.
