No it would lower it. This is why de-icer is often alcohol (methanol) based.
Alcohol turns to a solid (freezes) at a lower temperature then pure water.
Freezing point of pure methanol is -98C
It lowers it; for example, the freezing point of 80 proof Vodka is about -16 F
no. Salt decreases the melting point of water.

The freezing point of alcohol is much lower (colder) than the freezing point of water. The freezing point of water is 0 °C, but the freezing point of ethanol is -114 °C.See the Related Questions to the left for more information.think of density
It is the freezing point of water and equivalent to 32 degrees fahrenheit it is freezing! In Fahrenheit, it is 32 degrees. It is also the freezing point of water in Celsius.
Salt decreases the freezing point of water and increases the boiling point of water.
The freezing point of water occurs at 273.15 K (at StP)
0 degrees celsius is the freezing point of water.

Because alcohol has a lower freezing point than water. By mixing it with water, you lower the waters freezing point. So it keeps the water from freezing on the windshield.
well the freezing point of water is 32 degrees farenhieght. in my science fair project i found out that alcohol doesn't even freeze at all.
Boil/Freeze it. The alcohol will have a higher boiling point and lower freezing point than the water will.
Because alcohol freezes at a lower temperature than water.
Freezing point depends on the alcohol content, but assuming bourbon is usually sold around 40% alcohol content then the freezing point will be about -35oC.
No, they don't. The kind of alcohol that people can drink is called ethanol and it has a freezing point of -114 degrees Celsius (-114 °C). However, there are many other kinds of alcohol and each one has a different freezing point. Water freezes at 0 °C.
it does have a freezing point it just contains a chemical that makes it hard to freeze
Water. Although it's not really that it freezes faster but rather that it freezes at a higher temperature. How fast something freezes has to do with both its freezing point but also how much of it you have. A drop of alcohol will freeze faster than a giant container of water (assuming the temperature of the freezer is below the freezing point of alcohol).
At standard temperature and pressure the freezing point of pure water is 0-degrees Celsius (C). Ethyl alcohol is -114 and acetone is -139 C.
Adding salt to water the freezing point decrease.
It is the freezing point of water and equivalent to 32 degrees fahrenheit it is freezing! In Fahrenheit, it is 32 degrees. It is also the freezing point of water in Celsius.
