Not only will you get iced tea in the South but it will usually be sweet
iced tea. You have to ask for unsweetened.

I'm from southern Minnesota. When I was in Fort Worth, Texas for the
NGS conference in (I think) 1983 I ordered "tea", meaning a cup of
hot tea. What I got was a glass of iced tea. I guess I had a puzzled
look on my face when it arrived and a southerner seated at my table
explained that when you order "tea" in the south, you get iced tea.
If you want hot tea, you have to specify that. Since that time I
specify hot or iced tea, no matter where I am! Most places in
Minnesota don't serve iced tea in the cold months. I guess they
figure we have enough ice and cold to contend with!
Everyone in this area calls a soft drink "pop". My cousins from
Milwaukee called it "soda" and I thought that was really strange! A
"coke" is Coca-Cola. A "soda" is a fountain concoction made with
vanilla ice cream, flavored syrup (most often strawberry or
chocolate) and carbonated water. A "float" is ice cream and "pop" --
the best being made with root beer.
What is birch beer? That's a new one to me!
