generally i reckon if it's over 40%vol then a wee drap o' water is required.
but i guess it depends on the drink in question.
for instance i would never add water to 60%vol citrinowka (lemon vodka as made by my "unkle" Swavomir) but generally i find Whisky benefits from a minor dilution.
maybe after the first wee sip...just for the flavour...

With cool water, no ice.
when hammered, with coke.

Sorry, I have no class.

never drink the good stuff when pissed!
and yes, never ice in malt.
rum, bourbon, gin, whatever...but never ice in malt!

Someone tried to put ice in Mr Bin's brandy the other day.

Ice in brandy, when I'm king it'll be a hanging offence.
