What's up with Euros making fun of Americans for putting ice in our drinks? Like ice. Cold isn't the objectively best way to consume beverages?

What kind of freak want warm, room temperature water? Dafuq is wrong with you?

Is that a thing? We put ice in our drinks when it's hot, with a few exceptions.

Anyway, there are a lot more things to make fun of Americans for. 😉

Oh there are definitely nice places and so on. I just wouldn't go there now cause Death DeSantis.

@basilfawlty89 worse than alligators?
I don’t care. It’s just going to have to be one of my "Americanisms".
I like ice water, iced tea, and iced coffee. And I chill my wine (in the fridge).

@MethDozer I’ll drink coffee hot or cold, but I do prefer Earl Grey hot.

Thos wholly depends on the drink in question.
Some people like whiskey on the rocks, but purists would say it harms the flavour.

However, if you put ice in beer or wine then I AM THE LORD OF HELLFIRE AND I BRING YOU FIRE!

@basilfawlty89 again like AI said to babs. Most people who ice their wine are drinking a cheap swill or fortified wines that it's a tad bit different. There is some cheap lush wines here that I don't think the other side of the pond really has a fuel grasp on the flavor or the one specific reason you drink them
Dude I like some ice in my drinks!
I put frozen grapes!

Especially when it's a hot day and you're options are hot tea or warm room temperature drinks

Ice in wine is just wrong though

@BabyLonia bad people, yes.

@basilfawlty89 uncivilised!!!!!

@BabyLonia I mostly agree, but theres some cheap American wines and Americans fortified wines that actually are kinda nice on ice. Mostly because they arent really good wines to begin with and more just for the buzz.

If you put ice on even a moderate merlot Imma make fun of you but if you're putting Mad Dogs or a cheap sparkling Cold Duck it's whatever.
