Step-by-step explanation:

as alcohol evaporates at much faster rate compared with water due to its lower boiling temperature (82 compared to 100 degree Celsius), it is able to carry away more heat from the skin. this means for a given amount of time much more alcohol evaporates than water.

hope it helps you
