America, Land of Freedom and Ice

Why does Europe have an aversion to ice in sodas? Is it a health thing? A scarcity thing? Something environmental? Elitist?

When I asked for ice in a diet soda on a British train after 6 days away from the Mother Land and was told, "Oh, it's cold enough," I laughed. Just GIVE me the ICE.

Even the Marriott Hotel ice machine felt like I was draining it of a year's supply when my ice bucket was only a third full. 

Tell me, what IS it with them and ice?
