If it doesn't kill 'em, it'll give 'em one heck of a good time, partying it up with the squid and starfish as the tide rolls in- who's up for sandshots!, anyone?

Seriously though,

the only studies I have read regarding alcohol and crustaceans have to do with Daphnia- a tiny microscopic crustacean used in many lab experiments- Results: when ethanol (alcohol) was administered to the Daphnia in large doses- it killed them.

Whether this means that you have to immerse a crab in a tank of alcohol or absorb its food in alcohol before the crab consumes it- I am unsure. But, both are cruel and would be considered a form of animal abuse.

Don't forget- Alcohol is a drug. A drug, by definition is a substance that effects the natural biochemistry of the body- this includes a little crustacean body!
