\no, alcohol freezes at a lower temperature than water. I always freeze my vodka.
Camping tips - bin bags. Lots of them. And toilet roll. |

A can of beer will freeze in a few hours if left in the freezer. I thought that that killed the alcohol as well so you might as well drink pop. |

The water in the booze is what freezes. The alcohol doesn't (which is why booze never freezes totally solid).
You can actually use this to 'distil', by cutting the ice off, leaving the core alcohol. But that's illegal and would be bad.  |

"pitch your next to a river or beck ...put everything that needs refrigerating into a carrier bag ..tie it to a bush and drop it in the river ...perfect fridge !  "
this is fine so long as it doesnt rain or there is a flash flood ! In which case you may end up drowning in your tent  |

The bit about using river as fridge is good, but I wouldn't pitch near any river. The mozzies love the water + they are a real pain |

Extra bedding cos it's colder at night than you'd think.
Don't forget your towel in case you manage to get in the showers.
A handful of clothes pegs so you can peg your towel or anything damp up either on the guy ropes or inside the tent if/when it rains. |

Take a jug. Great for filling with booze so you're not juggling loads of cups past crowds of people and for skipping the stupid shower queues - just wash yourself at the water points using the jug to pour water all over yourself.

The real differentiator is whether you have a car or not.
When I started camping/ traveling as a student, what the guys above say about chucking half your stuff out, before you leave - was the golden rule.
But if you have a nice fat car boot, and back seat it's so much easier coz you can take so much more.

I will add I've been doing this for years. Doesn't kill the alcohol. Only works for Stella to my knowledge as the cans are aluminium so expand. Others will burst as they thaw. |
