A member asked:
Can alcohol dissipate after container is opened?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If you leave the bottle of alcohol on the shelf with no top, it will evaporate over time. Since the alcohol is more volatile, it will leave first leaving whatever what is in the container to evaporate next. If you cap the bottle after use, it will retain its potency.
