  It slows the absorption inside the stomach down a tiny amount. So you don’t get drunk as fast. But that is not really important if we are talking about dilution via some additional ice cubes.

  Yes it does… That’s called Dilution.

    You’re going to drink the entire drink, dilution would only make you less drunk if you were going to drink a fixed volume

      One could argue that most people don’t eat the ice, so if it melted they might have another sip or two before ordering another. Could possibly make the difference of a drink or two over the night.

      This is like calories in, calories out and in the real world context matters.

    No, that’s not how it works.

    If you have 1.5oz of vodka mixed with 3oz of water 94 6oz of water, it makes no difference. You’re still drinking 1.5oz of vodka.

  Shaking makes it colder (in my experience) and done well can produce this nice, very fine, ice crystal/frosty layer on top.

  I like a nice ice-cold gin martini - this works well with the juniper in gin.
