    hey guys, so my roommate just txt me giving out that her vodka bottle is half frozen. now the other lads had a sesh the other night while we were away. my mate reckons her vodka was watered down,.
    now i know that the freezing point of pure alcohol is well below freezing (-21oc?????) but is there anything that would freeze in a freezer that they use to make the drink itself.?
    just want to know if they could have been so sneeky, which wouldnt surprise me.
    cheers

    Didn't they have something on Mythbusters, where they used Vodka as anti freeze liquid?

    The Vodka was watered down, for sure

    I think we found the culprit.

    Depends on the freezer and quality of the vodka but I have often kept vodka in the icebox of a fridge and it never freezes.

    Vodka doesn't freeze in a regular freezer. Definite shenanigans.

    Vodka (37.5% vol alcohol or higher) is not frozen at -19C (that's as cold as 4 star domestic freezers get)

    Someone has watered it down substantially...

    I've had vodka go slushy on me before.

    Not a chance it was watered down (I'm the only vodka drinker in my own house).

    Absolut if it makes any difference.

    I've had vodka go slushy like a slush puppy on me. Brand new bottle. It was Smirnoff so should have been good but then again ive my doubts too... I bought it abroad so maybe they watered it down?!
    Maybe there's a certain amount of condensation in an opened bottle that will freeze when frozen..

    Keep clear of that biddy, everywhere she goes, someone dies. I believe Pub Vodka freezes very well, not that it's ever watered down, or anything.

    Could be cheap vodka either. Vodka will freeze, just not in a domestic freezer.
    Check these out. Chemistry is your friend and maybe try Google next time

    Most vodkas will freeze in a freezer, especially if the freezer hasn't been defrosted in a while, Smirnoff is the easiest one to freeze.

    We bought cheap vodka in Lanzarote, put it in the freezer and it was frozen solid the next day. Serves us right for buying the cheap stuff though.

    Did you just use the words 'Smirnoff' and 'good' in the same sentence? Shame on you.

    We had bottles of vodka in the freezer constantly last week and none of it froze, nor the jagermeister. The captain morgans didn't freeze either but it didn't mix properly with the pineapple juice and settled on top even after stirring.

    Just thought I'd share that.

    Smirnoff will freeze in a domestic freezer.
    Jaegermeister however does not freeze..

    The water content is freezing while the alcohol is not. It is quite common.

    Why has everyone got their vodka in the freezer?

    I just keep mine in the press, and it never freezes...

    Best cold, especially if you like it neat. Saves having to add ice.

    I started this thread when it happened to me: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=78601055

    The only thing I've learned is that it happens to all alcohol below 40%
