Alchohol doesnt freeze in your freezer because the freezing point of alcohol is much lower than that for water.

Each substance has different specific freezing and boiling temperature. Since most foods contain water, that is what freezes. Things that have alcohol boil/catch fire faster and they freeze at a very low temperature.

The freezing point of ethyl alcohol is -117.3 C, or -17,914 F. Therefore you can freeze alcohol but most people think it doesnt because the average freezer doesnt even get close to -17,914 F.

Technically, alcohol can indeed freeze. It just does not freeze as quickly as water. The reason is because the freezing point for alcohols is quite a bit lower than the freezing point for water.

Why did my tequila freeze, even though it is typically a liquid at room temperature?

Tequila can freeze if it has a lower alcohol content or if it is exposed to very low temperatures. The freezing point of alcohol is lower than water, so if the tequila has a lower alcohol content or if it is very cold, it can freeze.
