At what (if any) proof will alcohol freeze at?

I know that my friend kept some like 100 proof shit in the freezer. All I currently have is 40 proof peach schnopps. Can I put it in the freezer, or will it expand and break the bottle? I can't just go put it in the fridge upstairs cuz my parents don't know I drink. This stuff is pretty week, but its not what I wanted anyways. LMK.

Thanx,
Frost.

Its not a matter of proof, its a matter of temperature. Anything will freeze if its cold enough. The schnapps should be fine in a freezer, but wouldn't your parents find it in there?

Well I am not thinking of keeping it there that long. They only go to that freezer maybe 1-2 times a week, and its huge with lots of hiding space! :) But the fridge/freezer upstairs gets people going in and out of it like 10 times a day atleast, and its smaller. I just want to put it there for a day or 2. It gots to be cold when my girlfriend comes over.

That's interesting. When I put beer in the freezer it freezes. Anything hard just gets really cold but doesn't freeze. I have no idea what will happen to the schnapps. Try it and see if ice crystals start forming.

Something like that joe. Alcohol freezes at a lower temp than water. Therefore, the more alcohol, the harder to freeze.

I'm gonna have to play big brother for you, just like I had to for my 14 year old brother.

NO DRINKING, NO GETTING GIRLS DRUNK, ESPECIALLY IF THEY'RE YOUR AGE, NO F*CKING 14 YEAR OLD GIRLS (EVER), NO GOING TO PARTIES FULL OF 18+ YEAR OLDS, AND NO DRUGS.

BTW I threw my brother out of a party back around Halloween. Two of the guys I used to share a house with (21 and 24 years old) decided to throw an 18th birthday party for thier sister. Since my little brother is in the same school as their sister, he found out about it and tagged along with one of the upper classmen that he met on the cross country team. He got yelled at and smacked up side the head for that one (I was nice enough not to tell our parents). That upper classmen got beaten pretty bad for bringing 11 freshman to a party for mostly seniors and college students.

Well it seems you just had the dad lecture now here is the mom lecture. You will have lot's of choices to make your entire life, just think them through before you act on them. And trust your instincts, I know you are a good person.

P.S. Bio, great "edited" idea !

I have to agree with Bio and Freebird on this one
Forst give me your Mom's email and I must notify her at once.
Also give us your girlfriends Mom's email addy.
Think before you mess up your life at such a young age.
Drinking and sex at a young age will only lead to alot of trouble alter on in life.
trust us , been there done that.
btw my little beer fridge keeps freezing my beer and pop cans and exploding them when they are in the fridge door section so it must not take that low of a temp to freeze.
later

Dude, Frost... don't be stupid. We're all telling you this because we love you and don't want to see you make the same mistakes as some people here have made.. its not fun and its definately NOT worth it. just throw the bottle out and forget about it for the next 7 years. after 7 years get stupid drunk and then forget about it for the rest of your life. ;)

:) haha "NO DRINKING, NO GETTING GIRLS DRUNK, ESPECIALLY IF THEY'RE YOUR AGE, NO F*CKING 14 YEAR OLD GIRLS (EVER), NO GOING TO PARTIES FULL OF 18+ YEAR OLDS, AND NO DRUGS."

Dude, how did you know EXACTLY what my weekend was *going* to be like?? hehe. Honestly thats kinda scary that you knew that. Seriously this was my plan for the weekend:

(I don't know why I am telling everyone this, but this thread sure is getting interesting...)

Friday: I have the day off from work so I was goin to go down to Angies school (my girlfriend) Then we would prolly hang out for a while. Then that night I was going to go to skate city. (kinda lame, but can't get into many clubs when yer 14) I hang out with most of my friends there.

Friday Night: Spend the night at Aarons house and have fun with certain kinds of plants. (How the hell am I supposed to tell you what I am going to do without talking about "inapropriate stuffs?")

Saturday: 7:00 am. I have hockey practice. :( After that Angie is going to comeover and hang out. She doesn't like getting drunk much anymore, so we where just going to drink. NOT get drunk. :P Have fun with more plants then just see what happens.

Saturday Night: She is supposed to spend the night, but I don't think that that is a very likely possibility.

Sunday: Read the bestbuy adds like every sunday! :) Then go party with either Chris or Shannon. They are both 18.

WEIRD that you knew what I was thinking huh??


Biohazard: It makes me happy that you care enough to look out for me. this is prolly the same thing your little bro said, but I know what I am doing. I know not to get too crazy with this stuff.

Freebird: Thanx again. Its cool that you think I am a good person and I can make my own decisions. I feal the same way :)

WW: My moms email address is... Wait I dont' think so! :)

THanx all for caring.

OH and Solstice, turn up the temp in the fridge. (sould be a dial or something to turn)

I'm telling you stay away from the wacky weed. It's fun for a little while, until you have to take a drug test for work, or get caught by the police. Drinking can be just as bad and F up your life for a long time. One of my ex-girlfriends (from my days of drinking and drugs) got kicked out of Michigan State University, lost her job, and has had a very hard time finding another school to go to, and another job just because she was having a good time. Of course she does have 3 MIPS, a DUI, and a CDM now that she's 21. You see where this life style leads? I cared a LOT about Michelle, and I hated to see her go that road, especially after I started cleaning my act up. Not even a year later I have a beautiful fiance, who I plan on moving across the world with, a new job waiting for me, and a great new life to top it all off. This is what awaits you when you realize the error in your ways...

Trust me, I'VE BEEN THERE. and it's all down hill if you keep up what you're doing.

BTW my little bro said "what the hell did you do that for?" one day he'll understand.
