This is because the two substances are miscible, therefore once you get to a 50:50 mix the percentage of one must fall. The water then becomes a solute in the solvent alcohol in the case of your question.

What is low specific gravity?
The purest water, is given the value of one (1) or unity. Unity is just a term that unites the number one (1) to a specific item. So that in the future you can relate another substance, to the substance given the value of Unity. Any substance lighter then water, like oil has a lower specific gravity. Any substance heavier then water, has a higher specific gravity. Some oils have a specific gravity of around 0.85 Some heavy substances like strong nitric acid have a specific gravity of around 1.4 Substances do not have to be liquids. They can be solids.
Which is true about water and specific heat It makes water a good solvent. The specific heat is unusually high. it is unusually low. It causes water to heat up easily?
The answer is that the specific heat is unusually high. This means that you have to supply more heat than for most substances in order to raise the temperature by each degree C.
