Ideal temp for beers, sodas and bottled water?

I'm renovating my kitchen and one of the things I'm installing is an undercounter fridge for drinks. I read a couple of reviews on various models and it seems everyone complains the temp is only cool 39F to 47F range. To me that seems planty cold considering ice forms at 32F. What do you guys think?

Yep.

33 ought to be about right. Seems like I remember they resturants like to have their soda machines as close to freezing as possible, that way they don't fizz as bad and they can fill glasses quicker.
Yup.

Colder the better right up to when it just starts to get slushy.
Another vote.
When you pull them out of a cooler of ice they are just about right. I've never checked the temp, but I would guess it's about 33?F to 34?F.
+1, It always seems perfect when you pull a cold one out of an ice filled cooler
Thanks all. Upon doing more research I have found that most little fridges are just wine coolers with a swapped out the wine bottle fitted shelf for a flat shelf. Wine does not need to be stored so cold so that's why they only go to about 40F
That is because wine doesn't have any CO2 in it. Due to the Combined Gas Law, more gas will stay in a liquid when its colder.
Why is it that when at room temperature coffee is cold and beer is hot??
One of "those" are you.
Yer prolly the brother of the guy in China who pushed the "suicide" off the bridge.
I'll be watching you.

Those Crazy Chinese.
CNN) -- A passerby pushed a would-be suicide jumper off a bridge in southern China because he was angry at the jumper's "selfish activity," Chinese media reported Saturday.
It happened Thursday in the city of Guangzhou as Chen Fuchao threatened to jump off Haizhu Bridge, China's Xinhua news agency reported.
The bridge has gained a "macabre" reputation with 11 jumpers having thrown themselves off the bridge since the start of April, Xinhua said.
Traffic was held up for nearly five hours and a crowd gathered as Chen sat on the bridge, threatening to jump, Xinhua reported.
Chen wanted to kill himself because he had 2 million yuan ($294,000) in debt after a failed construction project, Xinhua reported.
Lian Jiansheng, 66, who was passing by the bridge, offered to talk Chen down, Xinhua said. Police refused, but Lian broke through the police cordon and climbed to where Chen was sitting.
Lian greeted Chen with a handshake, then pushed him off the bridge, Xinhua said.
Chen fell 26 feet (8 meters) onto a partially-inflated emergency air cushion, damaging his spine and elbow in the fall, Xinhua said. He is now recovering in a hospital.
A photographer documented the sequence of events. The photographs show Lian, dressed in a T-shirt, shorts and socks, saluting to the crowd after pushing Chen off.
"I pushed him off because jumpers like Chen are very selfish. Their action violates a lot of public interest," Lian told Xinhua. "They do not really dare to kill themselves. Instead, they just want to raise the relevant government authorities' attention to their appeals."
Police took Lian away after the incident, Xinhua said. It did not say whether he would face any charges."

I read somewhere that in the South Pacific during WW2, guys would sometimes take a couple of cases of beer for a ride in a P38, to about 35,000 feet. Then they would barrel back down, and everybody had cold beer.
Nobody back then complained about the gas, but today we have Gore the Greenfreak, and Pelosi.
30 degrees --just right --
And it never gets a chance to warn up
until it gets in my stomach because
I drink them so fast ----

If someone drops by, I try to put some in the freezer for about half an hour - that brings them down to a temperature, where they just begin to freeze a little.
puuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrr'fect. =o)
The English drink warm beer because they have LUCAS Refrigerators [}:)][:o)][:0][:p] . But I like mine almost with ice crystals.
That is funny stuff.
Lucas- the prince of darkness[:D]
Remember to keep a couple of beer mugs in the freezer.

Fire extinguisher works very well also.
32 to 34 degrees maybe...

I've heard of guys putting beer that was bought warm then put in a cooler of ice with a good dose of rock salt on top, put it in the back of the pickup, or back of 4-wheeler, once around the block and its cold. Be careful though, I would think you could freeze it if you didn't watch it.[:0][B)]
But thirst-quenchers like Budweiser, Leinenkugel's original, and so forth, are more refreshing ice cold.
The darker and the higher alcohol content the beer, the warmer it should be served. The lighter and less alchohol the colder it should be served. The range is 33F to 47F. So the moral must be to buy higher alchohol beer!!
I would assume that sode and water having zero alcohol would be better on the 33F side.
