Why is alcohol vapor used in a Geiger counter?

Alcohol vapor is used in a Geiger counter as it serves as a quenching agent. When a charged particle passes through the alcohol vapor, it ionizes the molecules, producing a small electrical discharge that can be detected by the counter. The alcohol helps to quickly dissipate the electrical charge, allowing the counter to reset rapidly for the next detection.
