Re:
I drink my Diet Cokes at what ever the current room temperature might be.
Keeping in mind that when I was gut-shot, I lost a lot of small intestine. You have a nerve that runs the length of the small intestine called the 'vagus nerve' that controls how fast the bowels move. You can read about it here, but scroll down to the section that is titled 'Causes.' If the nerve is under active, you become constipated. If it is over active, you have severe diarrhea.
Since I was shot and they removed about twenty feet of my small intestine (you normally have ~ twenty-two feet of small intestine) my vagus nerve tends to be hyper active, especially when I eat or drink anything cold. That's not a thing ya wanna intentionally cause to happen. I was shot in 1975, and it took a good six years to learn to control it again, but it is still a tricky thing to maintain in check. Ice cream used to a favorite of mine, but not anymore. So, I drink room temp Coke.

I once had to put a little notice next to my doorbell...
"If you are uninvited and unexpected, you are also unwelcome." If you think that might discourage some of the inconsiderate drop-ins, you could print this out on a 3 x 5 file card and tape it under the doorbell. Or, stock up on Cokes.
