No, whoever told you this is the original village idiot!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

That is an really good question!.!.!. I've never thought of it before!.!.!.

Alcohol does have an incredibly fast evaporation rate on its own so why would it evaporate out of the liquor bottle when left open!.!.!. By why to bars put spouts on the bottles it they are going to loose alcohol!?

Because water has one of the slowest evaporation rates and the alcohol (ethanol to be exact) is suspended in the water which prevent the alcohol from evaporating!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes, it does!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
