Yes, alcohol can react with certain types of plastic. Some plastics, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE), are resistant to alcohol and do not interact with it. However, other types of plastic, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polystyrene (PS), can be sensitive to alcohol and may degrade or become brittle over time when exposed to it. It is important to consider the type of plastic that is being used when storing or coming into contact with alcohol.
