Some breastfeeding book (can't remember which one) mentioned a woman who
drank so heavily her milk wouldn't freeze - gack!
Alcohol is fatal at a blood alcohol level one-tenth that of
full-strength beer (0.5).
I'm finding this story very, very difficult to believe.
LD50 is 0.4% and 0.3% is pretty darn dangerous.
We'd need to know how much alcohol is required to prevent freezing -
probably not all that much since the natural sugar has already lowered the
freezing temperature. I find my milk thaws much quicker than a similar
sized ice cube and I'm sure that's why, so it could be plausable at least.
