Negative Effects Of Heat & Cold On Alcohol - Tiki Drinks and Food

The freezer is a popular spot for Vodka and I've wondered for some time about keeping gin in the freezer or fridge. The same with rum that I know I'm going to use in a well chiled or heavily iced drink. I know cold suppresses flavor (which is why purists freak at the idea of Scotch on the Rocks) but is there any long term ill effect from freezer/fridge storage of booze that's going to get used with ice? What about short term, if I'm going to use all of a bottle of gin/rum one night (or two bottles if someone else is coming over) can it be put in the fridge?
