In theory, drinking water should be kept cool but not ice-cold. But it really doesn't make any difference unless you're drinking massive quantities of water, so just choose whatever temperature you prefer.

Yes it is, water is a great way of hydrating yourself without calories. It does not have to be iced cold, but even tap water is fine.

Not really. In one bovine study, water consumption declined as drinking water temperature decreased, and respiration rates decreased as the drinking water temperature decreased. Water consumption declined as drinking water temperature decreased, but the cooling effect of the low temperature water was greater. Lower drinking water temperature decreased respiration rates postwatering. [Core body] temperatures were not affected as drinking water temperature decreased. Both respiration rates and [core body] temperatures began to increase within 40 min after watering, indicating a transient cooling effect of the chilled water.

Cold water is better at cooling your temperature and giving you a refreshed feeling on a hot day... but for hydrating purposes, I read somewhere that warmer water is easier and faster for the body to absorb. So maybe you have to consider why are you drinking the water? Because you've been working out and sweating and you're feeling light headed? Then maybe room temperature is better to quickly hydrate you. If you're sitting at home and it's hot inside and you don't have air conditioning and you want to cool down, then a cup of ice water may be better for you.

In order for water to hydrate the body, it need not be at room temperature, or even at the same temperature as our bodies'. As a matter of fact, the American College of Sports Medicine's Position Stand on Exercise and Fluid Replacement states that fluid needs to be cooler than ambient temperature, meaning between 59 – 72°F. Colder fluids leave the stomach more quickly than warmer ones, allowing faster rehydration. During hot weather, when we tend to lose extra fluids, beverages in this temperature range will have a cooling effect on the body. Drinking cool beverages can help to cool us from the inside.

drinking cold water is actually bad for you because it can ruin the lining of your stomach, thats why you should always drink lukewarm water.

Cold Water, theoretically is fine for drinking. However alternative medicine declared warm water as the best. Also, there've been studies at John Hopkins that suggest there's a link between the enlargment of the gut and ice-cold water.
