Question: Is it a problem to eat ice?
Answers:
My friend has it all the time! Even orders it in cafes!
Nothing at all wrong with it though, just water! As long as you're not replacing ice with food, no worries! :)
It could cause problems with your teeth, but otherwise I don't see any problems, it's just water.
"Biting into and chewing hard ice. This habit is quite common and causes a tremendous amount of bite stress to be placed on the teeth. We know from geology that icebergs once existed in North America and carved out the Great Lakes. Ice actually broke down rock and reduced mountains to rubble. Imagine, if you will, what the impact of biting into ice cubes can do to your teeth. It can lead to tooth pain, cracking, fracture, and in some cases, total breakage of a tooth to the point where it cannot be repaired. Avoid chewing hard ice at all costs. If you must chew ice, make sure that it is crushed and slushy."

Some people think excessive ice eating is a problem. Personally, I don't see why it's so bad (it's just frozen water after all) unless it's the only thing you're eating.
Nope, it's just like drinking water.
