Chinese medicine and cold beverages

At home, our current controversy is whether or not I should be drinking refrigerated beverages.

I'm told that my doing so contradicts some of the basic principles of Chinese medicine.

An office manager here tells me that SHE agrees with Chinese medicine that we ought not to eat OR drink anything cold because it makes the stomach work harder to digest food and to moderate the temperature.
