I have seen different studies that support both ways.
I believe room temperature absorbs better.
One of my teachers talked about conflicting studies in relation to this exactly. He suggested working out drinking room temp water and cold water on different days and after training shake your tummy around and see if you notice one sitting around more.
Interestingly and maybe not a coincidence, my 9 year old daughter really doesn't like cold water. Maybe its just her thing, maybe just a baby thing but maybe they are just more in touch... who knows..
I absolutely avoid cold cold water training or otherwise.
I could be totally wrong but if you are hydrated consistently maybe cold wouldn't have such a wonderful refreshing feeling.
If you notice dry mouth you are already dehydrated.
Good gage for most people... .5oz of water per lbs of body weight daily (that is just normal daily use without working out etc) absolutely add a pinch or two of unprocessed sea salt per litre (should not taste salty) help absorbtion, especially intracellular and help maintain electrolyte levels(plus a host of other things)... can also use things like lemon etc
