Followup to: "Frozen Tequila?"  by MK  (Wed Jul 11. 2001, 22:33 UTC)
A friend of mine emailed me this letter.

At 32% ethyl alcohol (about 64 proof, I think), the freezing point would be 
about minus 10 degrees Fahrenheit, according to my handbook of Chemistry and 
Physics.  The handbook doesn't have data for richer mixes. 
Water freezes at 32 degrees F above zero, and a regular freezer is probably 
around 20 to 25 degrees above zero. 
The ethyl alcohol content would have to be less than 15% to freeze at +25 F. 
That would be about 30 proof, counting all the juice and stuff that are 
added.  So if one part of 100 proof alcohol is mixed with 7 parts of water 
etc., then you're below 15% alcohol, and it could freeze. Make sense?

How do I pour? What is 'cl', 'oz' and 'pt'? How should I handle glassware?.
