Alcohol will freeze, but only at extremely low temperatures, like
-114 degrees Celsius. Water freezes at 0 degrees C.
Special low temperature freezers run between -50 and -90 degrees Celcius, whereas most home freezers are around -10 degrees Celcius - too warm for alcohol to freeze.

Alcohol will freeze at low enough temperatures... it just has a very low freezing point (much colder than water's)... so a normal freezer will chill, but not freeze, alcohol.

It's because the freezing point of alcohol is extremely extremely low (like -120ish). Your refrigerator doesn't get that cold. Water freezes at 0 degrees.

Alcohol will freeze but at a much lower temperature than water. The exact temperature at which it freezes depends on many things such as what alcohol you are talking about and its purity.

I once had a bottle of vodka frozen in the freezer. And also had some beers frozen there. It has really low freezing temperatures, lower than our freezers can maintain. Pure ethanol freezes at -114.3 celsius. I would say that vodka freezes at -25 or something like that.

Alcohol DOES freeze, at -117,3C
Water has greater hydrogen bonding, which gives it a higher freezing point than alcohol..

cuz well alcohol has a very low freezing point that is not found in most freezers

Huh???
Alcohol does freeze... it has a lower freezing point than water.
Everything freezes as molecular motion ceases at absolute zero.

"freezing" is what you call liquid becoming solid.
everything freezes, and everything burns, its just everything has a different temperature for it.
Alcohol freezes lower than 0 degrees Celsius
