Imagine water molecules as quiet, organized friends at a party. When it gets cold, they hold hands tightly and form a solid crystal—ice. That’s freezing.
Now, imagine alcohol molecules as the wild party guests. They’re bigger, clumsier, and they hate holding still. Even when the temperature drops, they keep bumping into each other, refusing to lock into a neat crystal shape.
So the freezing point of pure alcohol (ethanol) is around –173°F (–114°C). That’s seriously cold—colder than any home freezer you’ll ever own (most go down to about –10°F or –23°C).
