FRICTION and for the person who stated that it has NOTHING to do with friction, your blind to your own words.
You say its nothing to do with friction, then you say it has to do with heat transfer, well what do you THINK FRICTION Is?
Jesus.....

It has NOTHING to do with friction.
It's all about heat transfer...when the liquid is moving, it transfers heat (relative, the ice is colder than the liquid, therfore it has less heat) to the ice at a greater rate than if it were still. So, as this heat (picked up from the air around the glass) is transferred to the ice, the ice melts...the greater the heat transfer, the faster the melty action.

As the ice cools the liquid directly around it, it becomes "insulated" by a colder layer of liquid. By stirring the liquid in the glass, you are dispersing the cold layer into the entire mass of liquid and are exposing the ice to warmer liquid again.
Friction plays a little part too, but the above action is responsible for most of it.

how long do you stir it? normal drink shouldn't melt much at all. and your supposed to stir it to mix all the indgriedents and chill it at same time. My advice is to drink faster and quit complaining

The ice gets intoxicated.

becuase the movement causes friction which causes heat.
