Vodka doesn't freeze? Really? Even helium freezes solid under the right environment, so at what point does vodka freeze?

I think it’s just a really, really low temperature, but how low?

It does freeze.
Just not at the temperatures that a freezer normally reaches.

Everything that exists can be in any of the states of matter, it’s just a matter (hah!) of temperature and pressure.

@Sarcasm
Just think, if our environment were considerably colder, we might come to consider ice to be the natural state of water. We might even refer to water as molten ice. Delicious food for thought.
