|||Maybe someone took the vodka out and refilled the bottle with water!|||You are right - vodka does not freeze at normal freezer temperatures. Could someone have opened it and took some then filled it back with water without you knowing? Or could your freezer just be freakishly colder than other peoples :). If no-one has opened it then you could try contacting absolut to complain - you never know - you might get a few free bottles from them!|||who cares. eat the ice|||some one diluted the vodka with water, and its screwing you up badly !!!|||Don't touch it!! It sounds like it has been adulterated @ source so, even though bought @ a (presumably) respectable supermarket it is not the brand it purports to be. Return it to the supermarket and seek a refund. Also consider reporting it to the Italian equivalent authority (Trading Standards in UK), it may be lethal to drink.|||Absolut vodka in America is always 80 proof. Have you checked the proof of your bottle? Italy may have different standards and have the proof or alchol content set at a lower level. Anything under 80 proof will freeze, although 80 proof can freeze given extreme temperatures. Please let me know what it is, I'm curious. I have bartended for years!|||Either it's not really 80 proof, you have a powerful freezer or it is not 95% frozen it only looks that way.
Alcohol freezes at a much lower temperature than water and normally they are well mixed, but sometimes enough water isn't mixed and there is a seed (such as an imperfection in the glass) to cause an ice crystal to grow and then take off, freezing the water but not the alcohol. Since the alcohol is as cold as the ice it wont cause it to melt, and you end up with slushy vodka. It's uncommon but not impossible.|||Alcohol does not freeze easily. Your freezer must have been VERY VERY cold. I had a freezer that did not work properly and it would sometimes freeze my rum. Then we had to defrost the freezer (it was suppose to be a frost free freezer) and the rum would be OK.|||Maybe your freezer is way colder than it should be. Check its thermometer.|||Since alcohol doesn't freeze at freezer temperature it seems that your bottle has been tampered with and I would bring the unopened bottle back to the store with your complaint.|||It may have had a lower alcohol content than what is typically sold in the U.S. I know that in Ohio they have weird liquor laws and you can only buy a lower proof alcohol after midnight, so they have a lower alcohol version of a lot of liquors.|||You are mistaken. The vodka is not 95% frozen. If it were, the bottle would have broken. As liquids freeze they expand. Anyone who has ever put a bottle of beer in the freezer to get it cold, and has forgotten about it can attest to this.|||40% alcohol will freeze somewhere around -60 F
I think it's highly unlikely that your home freezer reached that temp. It's more likely that your bottle has been tampered with.|||i think you got ripped off by the maker|||Normally, the vodka would become viscous at the most (very thick, like molasses)
There is a slim chance that the cap seal was broken and the humidity in the freezer cause water to condense. This would cause some ice chunks to form. However, that would not explain 95% frozen.
If you have roomates...I would suggest talking with them.
It has been opened and now contains water.
