There sure have been an awful lot of engine blocks turned to scrap metal overnight in "places that don't get that cold". Even if you live at the equator engine coolant is necessary for corrosion protection. It's a real shame, because erosion/corrosion (and running without a thermostat) can cause all sorts trouble. A 50/50 mix means not having to sweat it.

Draining the block isn't a guarantee to avoid damage, unless it can be certain it is drained completely.
