Because of the freezing point of alcohol, temperatures down to minus 70C can be recorded
Alcohol is used in maximum and minimum thermometers because it has a low freezing point and a wide range of expansion and contraction with temperature changes. This allows the alcohol to accurately measure and record the highest and lowest temperatures reached over a period of time.
An alcohol thermometer is used to measure temperature by the expansion and contraction of the alcohol in the thermometer's tube. It is commonly used in lab settings, homes, and industries to measure temperature accurately within a specific range.
The liquid typically used in a Galilean thermometer is colored alcohol.
A max-min thermometer is a type of thermometer that records the maximum and minimum temperatures reached over a specific period. It contains two markers that can be moved by the mercury or alcohol in the thermometer to indicate the highest and lowest temperatures. This type of thermometer is often used to monitor temperature fluctuations in indoor or outdoor environments.
The range of an alcohol thermometer typically falls between -115°C to 78°C (-175°F to 172°F). Alcohol thermometers are often used for applications where a mercury thermometer is not suitable, such as food industry and medical settings.

Mercury and alcohol
Yes, it can and you can purchase thermometers which use alcohol.
The liquid typically used in a Galilean thermometer is colored alcohol.
We still use colored alcohol for our liquid in everyday thermometers.

A Six's thermometer is typically used in meteorology to measure the minimum and maximum temperatures over a period of time. It consists of two mercury columns that are moved by the mercury in the thermometer to indicate the highest and lowest temperatures reached.
alcohol thermometer is used to measure very low temperature.i.e.-112*c
A minimum thermometer works by using a small column of mercury or alcohol that moves up as temperature increases and down as temperature decreases. A small steel index marker within the column remains at the lowest temperature reached, allowing users to see and record the minimum temperature.
