I think that the problem with alcohol, and we're probably talking rubbing or denatured alcohol, is that it contains so much water and will form a slush. Even absolute alcohol will rapidly go to 90% alcohol if left open because it will absorb water from the atmosphere. A problem in the cytology department when fixing tissues.
