We'll assume the drink in question is some percent ethanol, and the rest is water.
Density of cold water = 1000 kg/m^3
Density of ethanol = 787 kg/m^3
Density of ice = 917 kg/m^3
We'll call A the ethanol portion of the drink, and B the water portion.
A + B = 1, so B = 1-A
For the ice to sink, it has to have a greater density than the average density of the beverage.
A*(ethanol density) + B*(water density) = (ice density)
A*(787) + (1-A)*(1000) = 917
Solving for A gives 0.3896, or 39% alcohol.
Remember, this is just for alcohol and water (which doesn't make for a very tasty drink). Most chemicals in hard beverages are more dense than water, making the ice more likely to float.
TLDR; 39% at the very least, but it depends on the drink.

no not all alcohol goes to the brain more so the liver.

Ice tends to sink in alcohol due to differences in density. Alcohol is less dense than water, causing ice, which is denser than both alcohol and water, to sink to the bottom. This phenomenon is known as "alcohol stratification."
An ice cube sinks in alcohol because alcohol is less dense than water. The ice cube, being made of frozen water, has a higher density than alcohol, causing it to sink in the less dense liquid.
Ice cubes typically float in water because ice is less dense than liquid water. However, some types of alcohol have a lower density than water, which means ice will sink in alcohol since it is denser than the alcohol.
yes it doesAnswer:It depends on the alcohol and the percent of alcohol in the solution in which the ice is placed. Ice has a density of 0.9167 g/cm³ at 0°C. As ethyl alcohol is the one most people think of, lets use it as an example. Ethyl alcohol (pure) has a density of 0.789 g/cm3 so ice would sink rather quickly. It is not until room temperature (20oC) alcohol/water solutions approach 50% that the densities of the solution would be high enough for the ice to float.
Yes, ice cubes will float higher in alcohol compared to water because alcohol is less dense than water. This causes the ice cubes to displace more liquid when placed in alcohol, leading them to float higher.
When an ice cube is placed in a glass of alcohol, it tends to float either at the top or bottom depending on the relative density. Ice is less dense than alcohol, so it typically floats at the top of the glass. However, if the ice contains air bubbles or impurities, it may sink to the bottom due to reduced buoyancy.
Ice can't sink hunny :) It is less dense then water (density= 1.0) and therefore, it can only float, not ever sink.
Alcohol is less dense than water, so it will float on top of water. However, if the alcohol is mixed with other substances that increase its density, it may sink.
No, ice does not sink under a cup. Ice typically floats in liquids because it is less dense than the liquid it is in, such as water. So when you place ice in a cup of water, it will float on the surface rather than sink.
The alcohol by volume percentage in this wine is 13.5.
Yes
Ice cubes float in water because they are less dense than liquid water. When water freezes, it forms a rigid crystalline structure that spaces out the water molecules, making the ice cube less dense and causing it to float on the denser liquid water.
