When you drink tequila on the rocks you want it toned down when you get to the bottom of the glass.

Tbh the reason why I didn't get my belly broken was probably due to those sites we were at were mainly built by a couple cruise companies who deliver their own booze and water there But ye, I wouldn't try that elsewhere in Mexico Oh, man I miss those mojitos and daiquiris at the beach. Last time at the canary isles I even used bottled water when I brushed my teeth and got the shits anyway

Some parts of Europe don't put ice in. Though you'll probably find the glass was frosted (i.e. been in a freezer

My drinks always came nice and cold in chilled glasses. I don't know if that's what you mean by frosted.

Way better than ice.

Like Buckles said, the glasses have been in a freezer so they have this thin layer of frost. Usually done so with shot glasses like for Jäger or such. Keeps the drink cold that short moment longer if you need to take a platter of them to the table for the rest of the folk with you.

Like so.

http://blogs.smithsonianmag.com/food/20 … ice-cubes/
One explanation I’ve heard elsewhere, and which may hold some truth, is that Europeans see ice as taking up valuable real estate in the glass, so that they would feel cheated if they got too much ice and too little beverage. This theory has two problems: It doesn’t explain, again, why water shouldn’t be served with ice, and it doesn’t take into account the fact that one is often served a whole can or bottle of soda, which could then be used to refill the glass. My guess on the first issue is that drinking water with a meal is (or at least was) less common in Europe than here—a Parisian waiter once sarcastically presented my requested water as “Champagne”—and since no one had become accustomed to ice in drinks the preference carried over to water.

I like a sipping drink with ice, personally.

They do the same thing here. In some places they do that with salad bowls as well.

Oh yea.. I even do that if I'm serving up a salad to someone worthy ..lol. A lot of nicer restaraunts do it. It's presentation more than anything I think. You certainly don't want a warm or hot salad bowl.

Yeh, I know what you mean. Thinking of it, sometimes it's good for preserveving the foods too. Some weeks ago we went to serve drinks with my buddy to a party and did some other kitchen stuff too. The food was right there on the table the whole time and not in the cold. Majority had been there standing on the table for who knows how long. We looked at eachother and decided we ain't gonna eat any of that... In the end the lady asked have we had a chance to eat. I was panicing to come up with some lies but my friend saved the situation by saying, we're grown men, we have taken care of ourselves. Ordered pizzas after we got back home...

If your ice melts you are taking to long with it anyways... time for a new one.
not really, also with ice you get less value for money, and it alters the test of the drink.

e: the ice starts melting the second you put the glass in, making the top layer of the beverage slightly watered down, so every sip is slightly watered down. Down the bottom might still be fresh, but you dont rink that part.

Never noticed it.
Did notice how none of the Americans in Arizona drank the water from their own taps though. Bottled water is such a waste of money.
But the water did taste weird, had to put it in a bottle and leave it in the fridge for a bit to make it easily drinkable

I remember when I went to Paris a few years ago that practically no restaurants served their drinks on ice. No problem for me as they were usually well-chilled to begin with, but it did strike me as odd. Any reason as to why?
Don't like their booze watered down.

Same reason they don't serve American 'beer'.

That actually depends on the drink. In some cases the water is heavier and sinks below the alcohol.
