No ice please...

a.k.a.  Ice Allergy

I always order no ice in my drinks.  If I must endure ice I prefer cubes over crushed.  But overall I request no ice please.  I think the ice dilutes my drink and I don't like watered down drinks.

I don't really remember when we started this but a few years ago my family and I started telling the wait staff that I was allergic to ice.  And seriously there is an actual allergy to ice. 

Well it would be more correct to say it's an allergy to extreme cold.  It is called cold-induced urticaria.  So when we tell them that I am allergic to ice the waiter or waitress usually looks at me oddly and they're aren't sure what to say.  We just laugh but seriously....

No ice please.
