This was probably a joke.  If anybody takes it seriously be warned,
this is potentially *deadly*.  Alcohol has a low freezing point and
can remain liquid (or slushy) to well below the temperature your
digestive tract can tolerate.

_Hypothermia, Frostbite, and Other Cold Injuries_ by Bangs,
Wilkerson and Hayward describes this (sorry I don't have the page
number handy).  It seems there have been such deaths among those
paragons of temperance, the Alaskan and Yukon prospectors.  They
bring the hooch in from outside in the winter, take a swig, freeze 
their gullets and die.
