It's bad for your teeth. Wears down the enamel. Other than that, they are fine.

Ice cubes lower your body temperature, but they aren't bad for you. I have heard that if you're stuck out in the snow, that is very important to melt the snow and drink it first before eating it, because of the whole body temperature thing.

I heard an old wives tale that the ice cubed melt turn in to water and make you bloat.

I don't think its bad for you, more just your teeth. Eating something so hard could damage your teeth, but other than that its just water which is good for you.

When women are pregnant and crave ice it can mean that they are deficient in certain nutrients.
