The concept of 'Mijoz' (temperament) dictates that people with a 'cold' nature should avoid 'sovuq suv' to prevent imbalance. In rural areas, guests are always offered hot tea first. Asking for cold water immediately might be seen as a sign that you are very overheated or in a hurry. Younger generations in Tashkent are more likely to drink 'muzdek suv' and iced coffee, moving away from the traditional 'no cold drinks' rule.
