Contexto cultural
The 'Morsowanie' tradition is a major winter activity. It's common to see people in 'zimna woda' even when it's -10 degrees Celsius outside. There is a traditional belief that drinking cold water while sweating causes 'angina' (throat infection). Tap water (kranówka) has become very popular in big cities as a sustainable alternative to bottled water. In Polish 'Bar Mleczny' (Milk Bars), water is often served for free or very cheap, but usually without ice.
