Someone gives you a drink at a Halloween party. You notice that
the ice cubes in the drink are not floating, but have sunk to the bottom
of the glass. What is the alcohol content of this drink? If
you are the designated driver for your friends, should you drink this beverage?
If you do not drink it and simply hold it in your hands, will the ice cubes
eventually float?
