Generally speaking, no. What is referred to as brain freeze is when someone swallows a cold liquid and they develop a pain in the back of their throat that feels like it is in their head. It is thought to be caused by constriction and dilation of blood vessels in the roof and back of the mouth. It is a temporary condition and usually not dangerous or harmful.
However, passing out from a sudden or extreme 'brain freeze' is possible.

What causes a brain freeze?
The best way to avoid a brain freeze is to actually hold the offensive liquid against the roof of your mouth. The pain associated with brain freezes is the result of rapid cooling and warming, causing your blood vessels to quickly contract and then dialate. Your body is percieving the rapid temperature change in your mouth as an indication of a dangerously cold environment, and so your blood cells contract to conserve body heat, as the substance is swallowed, your blood cells return to their previous size and it is this oscillation that is so painful. Ever notice how a brain freeze starts AFTER you have swallowed your drink?
