My wife used to eat all the ice after finishing a glass of tea or soda. Then she was diagnosed with severe anemia. After taking iron supplements, she stopped eating ice. We never made the connection until several years later when we heard that a craving for ice was a symptom of an iron deficiency.
Craving ice is a sign of anemia. It may also be a sign of another deficiency, or simply a compulsion...you like to chew ice. I agree with the person above when saying there's not a downside to it, other than harming your teeth, which could be pretty severe if you are eating large amounts. I would just mention it to your doctor next time you have an appointment and have him test for anemia just to rule it out.
I know that I craved ice when I was pregnate, and it took months to stop eating it. My suggestion would be to buy an ice shaver because it is easier on your teeth. My doctor said it I took iron pills the cravings would go away. ANOTHER ANSWER: Constant craving and eating ice can also be diagnosed as a mild form of a disorder known as "pica". Most people with pica eat other "non food" items such as clay, but ice is on the list!
According to the Mayo Clinic (see related link below), craving ice can be a sign of anaemia.
Pica, which is the medical term to describe constant cravings for substances with no nutritional value, such as ice, dirt or paper, tends to be associated with iron deficiency anemia.
However, it can also be a sign of other nutritional deficiencies or medical problems, so it warrants a checkup with a doctor.
You want to have some ice cream, but if you crave it all the time, don't have it all the time, jsut once in a while :)
DEHYDRATION
Pagophagia is the medical term meaning craving ice.
On an episode of Dr.Oz he said eat frozen peanut butter to stop the craving. Alternate answer: Have some ice cream. This is not always the way to go depending on if you are diabetic or have other issues with the sugar or milk in ice cream but sometimes when you are craving something for quite a while, your body is trying to tell you something. It's trying to tell you that it needs a nutrient or nutrients found in whatever it is that you are craving. Most of the time, once you eat what you are craving then the craving is satisfied. Obviously if you've already eaten a pint of ice cream and you're still craving it you need to find something else to stop the craving.

There is nothing inherently bad about chewing on ice. Chewing on crushed ice is preferable to cubes because chewing cubes could cause cracks in tooth enamel. If you are craving ice to chew on it may be a sign of anemia which could indicate an iron deficiency.
