Better in what way? It makes no difference health-wise. The amount of energy used to by the body to warm it is so minimal, it's barely enough to register. It's all a matter of personal taste preference. Personally, water HAS to be icy cold for me to drink it.

I've been told that in Aryuvedic medicine (i.e. traditional Indian medicine) it's considered best to drink water at room temperature. Also, they thought it was best to drink water that was taken from it's moving source (stream, river, etc.) within 24 hours - they thought sitting water went stale after a day.
