I recall an old Ripley’s Believe it Or Not cartoon about a notable British boxer (probably early nineteenth century) who drank something like 30 shots of whiskey. He followed that with a glass of ice water. When he keeled over, his death was attributed to drinking ice water on a hot day — the experts at the time considered this to be an unhealthy practice.

Irishman wouldn’t allow water in the same room as his whiskey....
