What are some struggles for scorpions?
One of the greatest struggles any scorpion has is the molt. Like other arthropods, scorpions have their skeleton on the outside of their body. This is called an exoskeleton. In order to grow a scorpion must shed its old exoskeleton. The period between molts is called an instar. A scorpions age is often measured by how many times it has molted, e.g. a seven instar scorpion for example. Scorpions are very vulnerable immediately after they molt. This is because they are very soft for a few days after shedding. They must secrete the compounds that harden into their exoskeleton. Molting is also very exhausting. Scorpions will often fast for a while before and after a molt.
Why Does the scorpion need to shed its shell?
The outer 'shell' - or exoskeleton doesn't expand (like our own skin does). Therefore - as the scorpion grows, it needs to shed its skin periodically in order to grow. Immediately after shedding - the new 'skin' is soft - but hardens within minutes. While the skin is soft, the scorpion inflates its lungs to expand its body - this givers it space to 'grow into' the new shell.

What happens when you put liquor on a scorpion?
If we are actually in fact talking about liquor here, and not liqueur or wines and beers, then the liquor will quickly begin to evaporate off the nonporous exoskeleton of the scorpion. The scorpion may, unfortunately, be forced to endure a few minutes of confusion while a small amount of alcohol in the air around it is absorbed through it's soft skin under it's shell through expiration.
