Liquid that won't freeze but is drinkable? (not alcohol!)

This winter got me thinking about this... is there a liquid that is drinkable that won't freeze at/or around 32F? Most liquid qualify as a "drink" are largely based of water (which freezes) or of couse alcohol (which will kill you faster than not drinking anything).

Any ideas?
 
"drinkable" as in it won't kill you, or "drinkable" as in it gives you benefits? Since water is what your body needs, the liquid would have to contain water or somehow produce it...

mineral oil?

I'm not sure how much you could drink before getting sick though.

 
I used to mix a bit of cranberry juice into my water bottle before I went cross country skiing. I "think" it helped keep it from freezing.
 
Elementary chemistry tells us that anything dissolved in water will lower the freezing point of the solution by -1.86 degC/molal.

Dissolve enough of anything consumable in water, and it will not freeze at 32 degrees.

And basic arithmetic tells you when you lower by a negative, you end up raising the freezing point.

If you throw salt into water that you're cooking with, it will take more than 212F to boil the water. I believe Mr. Jzero's comments include a typo.

It's only a typo to picky snobs like yourselves vadatajs and ffmcobalt 😛

You should at least criticize lay writing from a layman's perspective.

Salt raises the boiling point and lowers the freeze point. That's why salt melts iceand also why it is used to make ice cream

Hemlock what? hemlock tea? hemlock oil? Tincture of hemlock?

From what part of the hemlock? the hemlock seed, the hemlock branches, or the hemlock needles?

Furthermore, what kind of hemlock? Western Hemlock? Eastern Hemlock? Mountain Hemlock?

😀

Are you worrying about another earthquake?

 
Salt Water?

It's drinkable as in won't hurt you, but if you put too much Salt in it then it will negate the benefit of drinking it...
