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.
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.
