Well assuming Alistair's numbers are right, and they almost always
are - two liters of 80 proof vodka, add 6 liters water and if you're
starting with a dry system it won't freeze until 25F.

Or four liters of vodka and add twelve...last I heard the Federal tax
on spirits was $42 per "proof gallon" whatever that is.  That was
also 30 years ago, I bet it's more now.
