There was controversy around the drinking of cold water in Spain during the 16th and 17th centuries, appearing in a wide range of medical, literary and religious texts. It concerned the benefits or detriments of drinking refrigerated water, which could lead to death when consumed in excess. Sources offer three distinct standpoints on this topic: the ethical/moral, the strictly medical, and the religious.
