alcohol does freeze

Can blood freeze in your body?

As the blood is redirected away from the extremities, these parts of the body get colder, and

fluid in the tissue can freeze into ice crystals

. The ice crystals can cause severe cell and tissue damage in the affected area. The low blood flow also deprives the tissues of oxygen.

What is the coldest water can be before it freezes?
