Soaking in gross chlorinated water is overrated. Beer is where it's at.
I can't think of a beverage in which I would enjoy an ice cube and then later a watered down whatever-it-was with a strawberry floating in it. Champagne is no place for ice, and a daiquiri would pulverize it. USELESS!
Ice cubes are great, but I want to drive little jiggly jello Porsches all over the table.
