It's a question of what they're designed for. :-)  British beers are 
brewed using different processes and yeasts from the lighter, fizzier 
beers that are more common in the rest of Europe and in America.  The 
bigger brands of American beer have gained some popularity over here in 
recent years, and I can assure you that nobody drinks them warm. :-)

You guys are also the ones that drink warm beer, a heresy here in the US.
However this may be due to the fact that all our beers are weak and taste
pretty much the same.

I have to disagree there - as an Englishman with a large number of
Scottish friends and whisky-snob acquaintances, I can assure you that
the idea of drinking single malts with ice is widely (although not
universally) regarded as heresy over here. :-)  The optional addition of
a small quantity of water is generally accepted though.

What kind of whisky ... a nice single malt, perhaps?
A single malt with *ICE* in?!  Let's just hope there aren't any scots on
the list... ;-)
