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?
