Was the survivor matching wits with a Sicilian when death was on the line?

I'll bet the dead man drank his drink slowly, and the other drank quickly.

Yes, you have the why, but not the how, as in, how did drinking the drink slowly affect his death?

The poison was in the ice cubes. The man who drank quickly didn't allow the ice cubes to melt and seep into his drink. The man who drank slowly ended up letting the ice melt in his drink, thus releasing the poison into his drink.

Was this one on the site at all? There was something about poisoned whiskey I think. Regardless, it's one of my favourite riddles, thanks for reposting Roy
