Impossible. If it was fucked with, it was the producers who did that.
Nobody else has had access to it.

11. Actually it was Doppelweizenkorn, but since that is really just wheat vodka that has not been...
triple filtered (mmmm tastes rough). I figured Vodka was a good enough name. Still, why is 38% Alcohol freezing?

14. 76 proof Vodka will freeze at about -12 F.
It's possible your freezer is that cold. Unlikely, but certainly possible.

It's also possible your vodka is not really 76 proof; it might be short some alcohol, for one reason or another.

16. I think it might get that cold.
I have one of those European dorm-sized fridges, and it seems that the way the freezer works is by being placed closer to the cooling unit than the other parts of the fridge are. Since I like my food kept cold, I keep it turned up to the max. perhaps the icebox segment is getting really blasted with cold. Otherwise, I've had the bottle open a few times and took some drinks from it, but I don't think it's been open enough for significant evaporation of the ethanol.
