Reply to comment by NeedToShred in In 1992, physicists proposed water could transition between high- and low-density liquid forms when it is supercooled—quickly chilled to a temperature below which it would normally freeze. Physicists have now found the strongest computational verification to date for such a liquid–liquid transition. by MistWeaver80

Reading the figures on the paper, the water is supercooled to a chilly 225K (-48°C).

Best case you get a brain freeze.

Worst case

The supercooled state is unstable. It would probably crystallize into a solid in your mouth as you chugged it. Yikes.

So long as no one makes ice 9, we'll all be good.

well, ice vii can exist naturally at room temperature -- in some diamonds.
