<STRONG>Isn't alcohol's freezing point around -117 degrees celcius?

As for beer, I'm pretty sure the alcohol in beer itself can't freeze naturally, but beer as we know it seems to freeze when you dunk it in the freezer (or if you're in Canada like me: leave it sitting on the windowsill) because of the high water content.

The question is: How watered down is Dwarven alcohol?

Well, although we call wine and rum and things 'alcohol', anything actually approaching pure alcohol is deadly to ingest (like, equivalent to swallowing acid or something).  That being the case, my unscientific guess is that anything actually drinkable contains sufficient water to freeze.

[umiman]

My bottles of 40% vodka don't freeze in -40 degrees celcius temperature even when I bury it in the snow for 2 hours. I would assume it would have to be really, really, REALLY cold for Dwarven alcohol to freeze (them being Dwarves, and everything Dwarves do, it's done in extremes)... though it wouldn't surprise me if Dwarven rum is 150% proof. Warharharharharharhar!

Not that I'm disagreeing with the idea of beer pools, or carvings of beer, or anything of the sort. I'd love it, in fact. More ways to kill = happier umiman.

I'm going to build my fort around a 5 story tall vat of beer, their may be a danger of a fort ending beer flood but really isn't that how every dwarfs dreams of going..

EDIT:
If I build a beer well over the beer vat can my wounded dwarfs drink beer?

Urist: We are trapped. One side is the bare stone, the other a flood of beer. What will we do ?
Kogan: We have to drink our way out of here !
Urist: BRILLIANT !

[Sithlordz]

Drown the goblins in beer.  A happy death, at least.  Hic.

[Align]

I hope you meant criminal dwarves. Goblins would foul up the drink.

combining liquids could lead to sewage.
Schopenhauer's Law of Entropy:
  If you put a spoonful of wine in a barrel full of sewage, you get sewage. If you put a spoonful of sewage in a barrel full of wine, you get sewage.
Examining the sewage could show you a breakdown of its content.

Best...suggestion....ever

I can imagine a dwarf gaining his swimming skill through it, and instead of 'drowning' he'd get a 'drinking' message.

[Dwarf Fanatic]

I can imagine....

Urist cancels brewing: Breathing Beer!
Urist Is getting deadly drowsy!
Urist is Drunk! ()

[Normandy]

Or if you lit it on fire...

Goblin walks on pressure plate, triggering a floodgate that allows magma to flow into beer moat...

[Align]

Ka-BLOOIE! Suddenly your moat is very large, empty, and the goblin is very dead.

[Duke 2.0]

Not to mention very depressed.

Urist: So, we put half our stores of alcohol into that moat? I'm not choosy, but won't crap get innit?
Adil: Thats the point! Then we burn it!
Urist:...
Adil: What?
Urist: Yer no dwarf! Burning our brew?! A HUNDRED HAMMERINGS!
Adil: OH GOD!
