ice ice but sans vanilla

Why is there a huge prejudice against putting beer over ice?

I don't drink a lot of beer. I usually have some in the pantry, but I'm not going to keep even a six-pack in the refrigerator when I drink about one per month at most. Sometimes I plan ahead and can chill a bottle overnight, but usually when I decide I should get a beer is after I've ordered the pizza.

So I put some ice in a glass and pour the beer over, just like I do with cans of Coke. (Also kept in the pantry because of rare drinkage.)

I guess it gets a little watery, but I tend to buy the dark&malty kinds of beer anyway, which leaves me some leeway before it gets to the Coors or Budweiser state.

The other thing I put over ice is hard cider. I do prefer it cold, and I would drink enough of it to make it worthwhile keeping it in the 'fridge, but prefer to artificially limit my consumption by not having chilled bottles tempting me every time I look for a beverage.
