Yes, mold can grow in alcohol, it actually grows quite well! Bacteria on the other hand, does not. Many people find particulate matter in bottles of vodka which are 40% alcohol and think it must be bacteria, but what they are actually seeing is mold in different stages of growth. Alcohol breeds mold so well (due in large part to its high sugar content) that it can be used as a growth medium for many molds!!

Mold should not grow in your alcohol. That is why it is such a staple in the medicine cabinet.
