Reply to comment by Chu_BOT in What can you add to a bottled drink to lower the freezing point (other than salt)? by UncommercializedKat

No pranks. I have an idea for a consumer product and I'm researching the viability.

What I'm looking for is to make a sports drink that would be resistant to freezing. I don't have a specific temperature in mind, although it would be really great if it could be kept from freezing in a normal household freezer (0F or -18C).

Cost, taste, and food safety are all vital so I'm not sure how low it could feasibility go. I've heard that Gatorade freezes at 18F (-8C) but haven't done any experimenting.

Gastrointestinal problems might be real concern, when you start adding additives to reduce the freezing point. Osmotic diarrhoea is a nasty thing.
