Someone asked about this, so let me quickly say this too.
Another of those "this is bad for you in the heat" myths that goes around every year is the "drinking cold drinks/eating ice cream is actually making you warmer" myth.
And the first thought of this is obviously: "That is not how physics work."
But let me quickly try and explain.
The idea of this myth is "your body cannot have too cold stuff inside of it so it heats up the cold stuff you eat and because of this produces more heat". But... look, your body has a volume so much bigger than the maybe 2 to 3 liters of cold stuff you take in over the course of a day during the heat. (Again, I don't do American units, and frankly do not even know how volume is done in the US.) And if your body heats up the stuff you eat (which it does do) that heat is in fact taken out of your system, hence cooling your body overall.
Now, people will always call to "But these people in equatorial regions drink warm things to stay cool!" But that is mixing up two things. For one: in some areas people do indeed drink hot drinks - but are doing this because boiled water is safer to drink because of bacteria and such.
Though secondly: in hot-dry climates sweat does do very well in cooling down your body. So drinking hot-spicy drinks that induce sweating do in fact help to cool you down. This does however only work in hot-dry climates, and not hot-humid climates, where sweat cannot properly evaporate.
Now, big caveat: the one exception here is when you are for some medical reasons struggling with your body's heat regulation, for example due to medications you take. In those cases some people do indeed have the reaction of a body reacting to cold food by overly heating up and not stopping when it should.
But that is not the standard.
So, yeah. Drink cold drinks. It is fine.
