The Brits don’t need to drink their beer freezing cold. The country’s weather is cool and wet enough. That said, their beer has full flavour (not a typo). Our taste buds become less and less effective the colder they get. There must be some very good reason that a lot of beer brands promote that their beer needs to be consumed ice cold. Perhaps that way you don’t taste how really bad it is. British beer - good. British food - um…let’s leave that topic alone.
To say that the British drink “warm” beer is misleading. It’s not refrigerated to the point American beer is, but at around 50-60 degrees (F). I think the appropriate term is “cellar temperature” rather than “room temperature”.
It also varies by type; lagers are generally served colder than ales, and even my beloved Guinness is meant to be drunk “cold” to “very cold”.
“Bloody” is indeed a very bad curse word. I think it came ultimately from medieval euphemisms for phrases taking the blood of Jesus Christ and what it represents theologically in utter vanity.
“Bloody” is just about the only thing I know of worse than “holy bleep”, which must be the ultimate in oxymorons.

Wiley, I wouldn’t drink any beverage that Clumsy concocted; it’s likely to include raw fish.

A Bloody Mary (or Susan, Marvin, Joe, Jessica, it really doesn’t matter as long as it is Bloody)

Why am I taking this as an offer to harm someone for the right price and it has nothing to do with a drink?

Three vampires enter a bar. Two ordered bloods and one ordered plasma, i.e. two bloods and a blood lite.

I have heard it said by an expert (Australian Sailor), that the word “Bloody”, is about the worst of all curse words.
