Last night I mixed a drink in a tall glass with lots of ice. I left it
sit too long and the ice melted but the glass did NOT overflow. In fact
the liquid level was the same!
What's wrong here? (besides ruining a perfectly good drink)
Thanks

If the ice is floating (depends on what
you're drinking ;-)) then the glass will
not overflow when the ice melts.
Especially if you taste the drink from
time to time to relieve the boredom of
the experiment.

But if the ice is on land and it melts
and drains into the sea (or the glass)
then a rising water level might be seen.
Maybe?
