80 proof vodka

[tbgrls5]

This may be a stupid question, but 80 proof vodka shouldn't freeze when put in the freezer, should it?

Thanks, Sue

I don't know proof (we do things in percent here) but I store my bottle of Smirnoff in the freezer...

Here's a quote from wikipedia on the matter:

"Due to the low freezing point of alcohol, vodka can be stored in ice or a freezer without any crystallization of water. In countries where alcohol levels are generally low (the USA for example, due to alcohol taxes varying with alcohol content), individuals sometimes increase the alcohol percentage by a form of freeze distillation.

This is done by placing the vodka in an open vessel (bowl, etc) in the freezer, and then after it has reached a temperature below the freezing point of water, adding ice cubes, to which the free water within the vodka will crystallize, leaving a higher alcohol concentration behind."

80 proof vodka is 40% alcohol, it will not freeze, however it does become "thick".

80% alcohol beverage is STROH (the spirit of Austria) and some kind of CACASHA (70-80%alk.)

Hahaha that made me laugh so hard, reminds me of a buddy of mine in middle school who tried that and was busted by his parents the same way.
