Really cannot agree with you there.
Whether my comment is original or not, NO beer should ever have ice in it. If it tastes so bad it needs ice, drink something else!
However, it is improved by being served ice cold and as long as you drink it before it warms up it's just about drinkable...IMO.
The liquid sold as beer in Thailand is, agreed, technically beer, but for a Brit used to drinking proper ale, bitter, stout etc it's a poor substitute. It's not even as tasty as a good lager!
Having said that, I do drink it because i like being in bars and cannot drink spirits all night.....does that count as going with the flow? 😂
