You're supposed to drink it, not stare at it.

I remember asking something like that of a co-worker of mine, who had a double-major in CompSci and Physics. He explained that ice is composed of H₂O and captured air. When it melts, the frozen H₂O returns to liquid state and the air is released back into the atmosphere. That's why ice takes up more volume than water.
