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

Why does water freeze before alcohol?
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
What is 0 degrees Celsius?
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.
How does salt affect the melting and freezing point of water?
Salt decreases the freezing point of water and increases the boiling point of water.
What si the freezing point of water?
The freezing point of water occurs at 273.15 K (at StP)
When does it hit the freezing point of water in degrees celsius?
0 degrees celsius is the freezing point of water.

How does the alcohol based liquid to clean windshields help keep the water in the cleaning fluid from freezing on the windshield?
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.
What is the different in the freezing point between water and alcohol?
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.
How can one differentiate between water and alcohol with tasting or smelling it?
Boil/Freeze it. The alcohol will have a higher boiling point and lower freezing point than the water will.
Why alchol can measure freezing point of water?
Because alcohol freezes at a lower temperature than water.
What is the freezing point of burbon?
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.
Do water and alcohol freeze at the same temperature?
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.
Does alcohol have a freezing point?
it does have a freezing point it just contains a chemical that makes it hard to freeze
What freezes quicker water or rubbing alcohol?
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).
What is the freezing point of other liquids?
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.
What does salt have to do with the freezing point of water?
Adding salt to water the freezing point decrease.
What is 0 degrees Celsius?
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.
