This would suggest that it's touch and go depending on the exact concentration of alcohol and the freezer.

Drinking neat spirits make you go blind.
I've given up on the curiosity of drinking spirits over 40% neat. Unless it's homemade and I don't want upset my host, 'cos they've been drinking....

There's only 2 degree threshold between the freezing point of absolut and the temperature of a domestic freezer.

It just froze. Thaw it out, drink some, and you'll quickly be able to tell if it's been watered down or not.

I'll share this, do not mix ouzo and Coca Cola.

Don't mix ouzo with anything, especially the contents of your stomach.

That..and if youre doing shots of vodka, having it ice cold makes it more more palatable.

Just do shots of something palatable instead :P

pickarooney · 18-09-2012 08:55AM

Is it Czech vodka? probably best to leave it alone.

TPD · 18-09-2012 09:15AM

I had a wee bottle of 160 proof blue absinthe in one of those big chest freezer yokes for a good while. Made for some damn tasteless shots and numb throats.

Were you in the freezer with the vodka by any chance?

Sulla Felix, I would like to apologise, I thanked a post that ridiculed your own post. However, in light of new information to me I feel your post is not only appropriate to the thread but also accurate.

Vodka should turn to a gel-like substance if it's been left in the freezer too long. It's been watered down for sure.

seamus · 18-09-2012 11:34AM

I've kept a bottle of smirnoff in a domestic freezer for months and it didn't freeze. Just goes very viscous, which is pretty cool.

Also had a bottle of Boru in the freezer for a couple of weeks. Same deal.

The bottle is actually pretty cool when you take it out - a coat of frost immediately forms on the bottle up to the line of the liquid.

If it freezes, then you've either got an unfeasibly cold freezer, or it's been watered down.

If your vodka gets any kind of ice crystals in it, then it's definitely been watered down. If it freezes, it should all freeze together.

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 that happen too and i certainly hadn't watered down my own vodka. Was absolut too by the way. Nicest vodka going in my opinion!

There has been a bottle of Grey Goose in our freezer for the last few weeks and its not frozen just really really cold.

That's good vodka though.

Why has everyone got their vodka in the freezer?

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

Because it should be drank ice cold.

humbert · 18-09-2012 02:06PM

I was just thinking, it would surely be potentially dangerous to drink vodka at -19 degrees.

If the glasses were also in the freezer and it didn't have a chance to warm up that would be nasty.

Get yourself a nice glass, some fresh ice cubes, a slice of lime and about 50ml of a nice vodka like Grey Goose or Belvedere.

Then do the same with Smirnoff.

Then sample the first one again and tell me how "rotten" vodka is.

I love vodka... MMMmmm

see, thats the thing. we are great drinkers because we drink horrible crap. im working in a pub in the west end of london now, and all the office types come in and order their poxy cocktails and ten pound glasses of wine, and none of the hoors can drink for shyte. gee eyed on the smell of their stupidly expensive plonk.

it's not what you drink, it's how much you can drink without needing medical attention. :pac:

No, it's lovely.

danslevent · 18-09-2012 02:29PM

An unopened bottle of vodka has never frozen on me but once I have opened it and put it back in the freezer it has.

It is actually quite nice, but you wouldn't want to down a large gulp of it, you could cause burns to your insides.

Alcohol is (afaik) quite a poor conductor of heat, so sipping on a -19C glass of vodka can't do any more damage than sucking on a -19C icecube.

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

The Vodka was watered down, for sure

The vodka was not necessarily watered down. If the vodka is average Vodka 40% alcohol, then it won't freeze.
If however it is cheapo vodka like Vladivar or some weaker Smirnoffs (37.5%) then it will freeze.

Zulu · 18-09-2012 02:44PM

Folks, we do know that a bottle of vodka is NOT 100% alcohol, right? Right?
There's water in a bottle of vodka. The water freezes, the alcohol doesn't. The liquid in your bottle now is a higher % alcohol.

vodka bottle frozen.
