This should be easy but someone at a bar said something.

No, because the water from the melting ice displaces the volume from the melted ice. It all evens out.

It's actually very cool, but the glass will not overflow. Water expands when it freezes. & it floats a little bit above the waterline. When the ice melts, it contracts & all stays in the glass

No, the drink level actually goes down. The ice takes up a certain amount of volume. When it melts, it becomes water, which takes up less volume.

No. Water expands when it freezes, so when it melts, ithe water takes up less room than the ice does. The level in the glass will go down, not up.

Well ya it does, but you need to finish your drink so fast before the ice melts.

no- water is more dense than ice- water expands when frozen, so when it melts it contracts- therefore the level of the water will appear to remain the same, but it will be subtly lower

No, ice takes up more room than the water itself.

No, because just as water expands when if freezes, it takes up less volume when it melts

No Ice is water that has expanded

no it won't everflow.
When water freezes it expands by 11%, so when it melts the level of liquid will actually be lower.
