为什么那么多中国人习惯喝开水？

我跟我的美国朋友探讨过这个问题，我们觉得是源于我们自小的家庭生活习惯。我想中国人自小喝冰水也会习惯的。

对于一些中国人来说，她们确实喜欢喝开水，一方面开水经过了高温的处理，细菌少，有益于身体的健康，从小到现在我们的父母都教育我们不要喝生水。另一方面是开水对我们的身体有好处，有益于养成良好的习惯，我就非常喜欢和开水，虽然有点烫，但喝道肚里，会有种暖暖的感觉，因此每天我都喝，尤其对于我们女孩子，8杯水的说法还是挺有用的。对于年长的人来说，她们更喜欢用开水泡茶叶喝。在中国有句古语“煮酒论英雄”，也许，我们天生就偏好热的食物！
For some Chinese people, and they really do like to drink water, on the one hand, the temperature of the water after a few, be beneficial to handle, bacteria health of body, since the childhood to now we parents education we don't drink water. On the other hand is boiled water is good for our health, be beneficial to develop good habits, I enjoy and boiled water, although a little hot, but thundered belly inside, they may have a warm feeling, so every day I drink, especially for our girls, 8 cups of water that's still pretty useful. For older people, they prefer to drink tea with open blisters. In China there are 12-kilometer radius "cooking wine theory, perhaps, our hero" inherently preference hot food!

中国人和美国人的体质不一样。听说美国人生了孩子后第二天去逛街也可以，是真的吗？

习惯是主要因素， 我喝冰水也没问题， 但是喜欢温水的感觉。。
