Why doesn't alcohol, ie vodka, freeze?

I was just wondering and thought I might ask here. Thanks to all who answer

Because the freezing point of alcohols is much lower than that for water.



Each substance has different specific freezing and boiling temperature. Since most foods contain water, that is what freezes.



The freezing point of ethyl alcohol is -117.3oC, or -179,14F. Since vodka is only about 10% alcohol you wouldn't have to go that low to make it freeze (since it's a mixture of water and alcohol), but I'm pretty sure the average freezer would never get there anyway.

Most likely because alcohol has a higher freezing point than most temperatures in freezers....scientifically speaking.
No Vodka doesn't freeze.



Nick from Russia.
It does freeze, just not in your freezer. The freezing point is much lower than water.
don't no it could be because of the alcohol in the vodka
vodka is in the family of alcohols called spirits. Alcohol does freeze because its freezing point is much lower than that of water. Perhaps you should try another freezer.
It is it freeze point. Just add some sugar and it will freeze because the sugar changes the freeze point of the alcohol.
most vodkas will freeze at about -10 degrees farenheight
If you put the temperature down low enough, anything will freeze. The alcohol changes the point in which the liquid freezes. 32 degrees is when water freezes, and most things consist of a lot of water. Beer will freeze, because it doesn't have the alcohol content that booze has.



NINA - VODKA is generally 80 proof, which means 40% alcohol. Didn't you learn about that either in school or drivers ed?
the substances in them have a much higher freezing point thatn other liquids. I havent tried it, but maybe using dry ice could freeze it???? mmmm....vodka
