It's a trade-off. Buy two containers, have one with water, the
other with alcohol. If the water gets frozen, resort to the
alcohol. Or, what happens if you dilute the water with alcohol?
Gets one thinking, eh?

That, and make people wearing a bunch of armor out in a lightning
storm a lightning rod. Or, at least, have rust eventually catch
up with them. If it's hard to move in 75lbs of armor during the
day (and it is), then it'll be even harder in a blizzard...:)~
