Outdoor dining in Summer is a big factor.
The two collars have had a big effect on how much we enjoy a meal with wine and have reduced how much we drink. Down to one bottle per dinner.
Australian males tend to drink ALL their beers too cold.
Especially Ales.

...then there are the British who drink all their ales at room temperature.

If I'm going to drink beer or ale, I like mine COLD for refreshment in the summer.

  Ales are served in British / UK pubs at cellar temperature, which is a good bit cooler than room temperature. Thya come to the pub still brewing and are served still 'live'.
  Lagers are served COLD.
  Been there, and unless Winchester* was unrepresentative of the UK, which I doubt, I know what I know.
  Most of the new to the UK on-tap lagers back then, in the 1970s, were served cold enough that you couldn't taste them, which was a good thing.
  Lagers cost less to make and less to look after as they are not 'live' beers. But then CAMRA came along and Ales were restored to the UK market. Look the story up.
  If live ales were stored as cold as you think you like, they would die, and would taste awful.
  One of the leaders of CAMRA, is a renowned published writer on beer, Michael Jackson.
  I have a few of his books.
  Australia has two companies who are historically Ale brewers, Coopers who export their product to the USA and Tooheys who still brew Tooheys Old dark ale at the Hunter Brewery in Newcastle where I 'grew up?!'
  It was de-rigeur in the pubs around the steelworks, where I worked in the school and Uni holidays. The Saloon and ladies bars might have had New (lager) on tap, but the Public Bar? Never!

    ...I was in London in 1982 and the pubs served it too warm for me.
