This is such an old chestnut that so far I stayed out of it, but
cannot resist the temptation any longer.
In the last 3 or so years I have traveled in Germany, France,
Switzerland, Italy, Austria and Holland. On no occasion was I
served a drink (alcoholic or not, including water) without ice or,
where appropriate, without being chilled.
So, I am now wondering where my colleagues have traveled, and/or
whether I have been protected by a guardian angel?

P.S. Guinness is an exception to this, as it should be by tradition
and taste. As I do not usually drink it, I do not know if it too
was chilled in some places in Europe.
P.P.S. I am also wondering how all this knowledge about chilled
drinks will aid good teaching, though I can think of some instances :-)
