A relatively uncommon type of AF is ‘vagal AF’ where stimuli like sudden very cold drinks can start AF - if this applies to you this is good advice. The only way you'll know is to try it.
For the majority of people, however, having a cold drink, diving into cold water, vomiting or using the toilet (all of which cause vagal stimulation) do not initiate AF.
