When you drink cold water, your body must expend metabolic energy in order to maintain normal body

Question:

When you drink cold water, your body must expend metabolic energy in order to maintain normal body temperature (37 oC) by warming up the water in your stomach. Could drinking ice water, then, substitute for exercise as a way to "burn calories?" Suppose you expend 430 kilocalories during a brisk hour-long walk. How many liters of ice water (0 oC) would you have to drink in order to use up 430 kilocalories of metabolic energy? For comparison, the stomach can hold about 1 liter.
