In degrees celsius, what is the boiling point of everyone's favourite alcohol, ethanol?

  • 78.24C ... one team guessed 20C which is a tad low since all your drinks would evaporate!

 

Guilty!

In fairness that's both of us got boiling and evaporation mixed up though! If you leave a drink out at 20C it will evaporate if you leave it long enough - happens with ethanol a fair bit faster and that's why I went for 20.
