Seems a lot of people in the comments are missing the part where the alcohol keeps it like a slushy consistency allowing it to be cold but soft and conforming to your body.

Buy a small plush animal at the dollar store, cut open a seam and remove the stuffing from the body. Leave the head and arms. Put a small bag of this inside and seal with velcro. It's comforting for little kids and you don't have to worry about the ice pack being too cold on their skin. I suggest dollar store plush critters because the fabric is usually thinner, you don't want one with thick fur or you won't feel the cold.

If you use one of those "hot water bottles" (the rubbery ice packs with the screw on top) you can add your alcohol and water to that- more alcohol than what you added, Lol- then stick THAT in the freezer, the water won't completely freeze and it'll stay ice cold but still liquid.

First, you need the 91% rubbing alcohol or the ratio is wrong. The final solution must be 18-20% alcohol. If you get the cheapest alcohol it's 41% so you mix 1 cup with 2 ½ cups of water. Or use ½ cup vodka and 3 cups of Hawaiian punch. Then when it's not frozen any more you have a cold cocktail!

I believe the point is that this will form to your body and be soft enough to sit / lay down with if you’re trying to ice your back.
