It depends on the alcohol and the percent of alcohol in the solution in which the ice is placed. Ice has a density of 0.9167 g/cm³ at 0°C. As ethyl alcohol is the one most people think of, lets use it as an example. Ethyl alcohol (pure) has a density of 0.789 g/cm3 so ice would sink rather quickly. It is not until room temperature (20oC) alcohol/water solutions approach 50% that the densities of the solution would be high enough for the ice to float.

∙ 13y agoThis depends on the "specific gravity" or physical density of the drink. The density of ice is slightly less than that of water, hence it floats in water. Some alcohols are less dense than water, and the ice may not float at all.

∙ 16y agoThe ice cube will float higher in water, because alcoholic beverages have a lower viscosity, or internal resistance. This decreases the "thickness" of the liquid and causes less buoyancy.

What are objects that easily float?
Anything that has a density that is lower than water will float. The lower something's density is, the more buoyancy it will have.
Ice float on top of water?
Ice float on water because the density is lower.
Why does my ice melt in my soda?
Pure water ice cubes always float. They float because the molecules of water rearrange into a crystalline shape when they freeze. That arrangement leaves more empty space between the molecules of water which reduces the density of the water in ice form. Lower density objects float on higher density liquids.
How do you float yard eggs?
An egg float on salted water because the density of the egg is lower the the density of this water.
What type of molecules float in water?
Nonpolar molecules that have a lower density than that of water (<1g/mL) will float above water.
Do ice cubes float higher in alcohol?
No. Ice cubes will sink in pure alcohol, and will float lower in low-proof alcoholic beverages. This is because alcohol is less dense than ice.
Why are trees lower the higer up you go?
Yes
Why do ice cubes float to the top of glass of water?
ice is less dense than water
Is the density of water higher or lower than the density of ice?
Strange as it may seem, liquid water is more dense than ice. That's why ice cubes float in your drink, and icebergs float in the ocean. It's also the reason why a frozen lake or pond is able to thaw at all. If ice were more dense, then only the top of the frozen lake could ever thaw, because the ice lower down could never float up to the surface to be melted by the sun. Pretty lucky for human life on earth, eh ? Makes you think.

An object is more likely to float in water if it has low density?
If the density of the object is lower than the density of water, the object will float. Think about the differences between ice cubes and water: ice cubes are less dense than water. In other words, a cup full of ice would be lighter than a cup full of water, and you probably know from experience that ice floats on water.
Why do you tend to float lower in the water when you exhale?
You tend to float lower in the water when you exhale because you are getting rid of air. This air is buoyant and helped you to float higher.

What is the best halo reach cheat that helps you jump higer?
just change gravity lower and get an unlimited jet pack. simple
Ice float on top of water?
Ice float on water because the density is lower.
Why does a icebreg float?
water is the only substance on earth where its density is HIGHER when liquid, and LOWER when solid. a substance will float on top of another if its density is lower than the other substance. so because the ice has a LOWER density it will float on top of the water
Why water flows from higer level to lower?
Gravity is what causes a river to flow from higher to lower elevation. A river travels at a faster speed the higher the elevation and will typically cause greater erosion.
