Alcohol doesn't freeze that's why. :)

If the temperature is low enough, it will. But the freezing point of alcohol (say 80 proof = 40%), is low enough that home freezers won't reach it. But wine or beer will freeze as their % of alcohol is lower, and the water has a grwater effect on the freezing process.

Liquor does not freeze because it has alcohol

It normally never gets cold enough for alcohol to freeze.
Alcohol freezes at - 80°C and boils at +78°C.
One of the lowest recorded temperatures on Earth was -89,2°C at Vostok, Antarctica, on 21 July 1983.

To prepare alcoholic ice cubes for your cocktail drinks, mix it with water first. Water freezes easily.

Alcohol will freeze, it just has a much much lower freezing point than water.

The alcohol has a lowered freezing point.
it will freeze, but it has to be very cold indeed

Because alcohol doesn't freeze. Which doesn't mean that if you are freezing you should drink alcohol (hard booze) because it may keep you from feeling the cold (and anything else) but you'll still freeze.

Freezing alcohol will explode and destroy your refrigerator.

Actually it does. It depends on the proof of the liquor.
Volume...Proof...Freeze Point
12%.........24.........+20
20%.........40.........+10
27%.........54............0
32%.........64.......... -10
38%.........76...........-20
42%.........82...... ...-30
