It doesn't.
Because of the high concentration of alcohol, 45% at 90 proof, the alcohol acts like an anti-freeze.
90 proof means the alcohol content is 45%, by volume.200 proof = 100%180 proof = 90%and so on.
90 proof = 45 % alcohol. A very strong drink indeed.
Moonshine typically has a high alcohol content, often around 100 to 180 proof (50% to 90% alcohol by volume). Since pure ethanol freezes at around -173°F (-114°C), a moonshine bottle in the freezer will not freeze if its proof is high enough. Generally, any moonshine above 100 proof (50% ABV) is unlikely to freeze in a standard home freezer, which typically operates around 0°F (-18°C).
Everclear is listed at 180 proof, or 90% alcohol per vol.
well alcohol has a lower freezing temperature than water. Therefore it can go below 0 degrees celsius or 32 Fahrenheit and still be liquid. (Well for harder liquor anyways--not beer, it will freeze) But i think it will still be fine.
45% The percentage of alcohol is always 1/2 of the proof.
The answer varies in each different liquor, and should be listed on the bottle as "proof". The "Proof" is twice the alcohol percentage, so 40 proof is 20% alcohol, 180 proof is 90% alcohol.
The strongest alcoholic drinks can have alcohol content ranging from 40% to over 90%. However, many commercially available strong alcoholic beverages like spirits typically range from 40-50% alcohol by volume (ABV).
In general, whiskeys are at that level. But there are specific brands that dilute to 45%, Skyy 90 vodka comes to mind.
Yes, if the alcohol has a high enough alcohol has around a 90% potency (180 proof), some times way less can also do good, like a 50% (100 proof) can be effective to disaffectent a wound.
One gallon of 90 proof liquor weighs approximately 7.5 to 8.0 pounds. The weight can vary slightly based on the specific alcohol content and the ingredients used in the liquor. Since 90 proof means the liquor is 45% alcohol by volume, it is denser than water, which weighs about 8.34 pounds per gallon.
