No. Water defies the property of nature by expanding when it's cold, instead of contracting like everything else.
The water in the glass will be lower after the ice melts.

If the glass of water is crammed to the brim, the water will spill out in case you put in an ice cube, using fact the water is displaced. Did you recommend place the glass in a block of ice?

no, because if the ice did not cause the water to spill over in the first place, the ice has already displaced all the space it will in the glass , it changing form will not displace more water

No; the water as ice takes up more space than water as a liquid; if you stacked the ice so that it is above the glass (not floating), it might.

Which makes you wonder about the following:
Global warming alarmists say that the melting polar icecaps will increase water levels worldwide. This doesn't make sense because a) 90% of iceburgs are underwater and b) that ice takes up more room frozen that when it thaws into water.
So, in theory if the artic melts ocean levels should more or less remain the same or actually go down!

No. Frozen water (ICE) is less dense than liquid water because H2O molecules form a hexagonal structure when frozen. Thus, when the water melts, it will actually decrease the amount of space taken up.

id say it depends how much of the water u drink before the ice melts

no because the same amount of water will melt as the space acquired by the ice cube

no because the density inside the glass stays the same whether the ice melts or not.

No because water expands when it turns to ice, therefore, will shrink back down when it melts.
