I assume that by "boils faster" you really mean "boils at a lower temperature", and that by "alcohol" you mean "ethanol".
Ethanol has a lower boiling temperature than water at standard pressure. However, a mixture of ethanol and water boils lower than either by themselves do. This is called an "azeotrope" and it happens for ethanol/water mixtures at about 95% ethanol, which is why it's essentially impossible to get ethanol to more than 190 proof by distillation alone.

What happens when you boil alcohol?
Alcohol has a lower boiling point than water. Naturally the alcohol evaporates leaving the flavanoids and the water. If you boil 100 % alcohol, then it would act like plain water. It will boil until it all evaporates.
Which liquid will boil last water or mercury or alcohol?
water
How can you heat rubbing alcohol?
Boil it like water
What estimation of the volume of liquid boiling below 85 celsius with and without column in the distillation curves?
Alcohol will boil at 85 degrees Celsius. Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius. These things always boil at the same temperature, and will continue to boil as long as liquid remains.
How would you separate a mixture of water and alcohol?
Alcohol has a lower boiling point than water so you can boil it off. _________________ Alcohol burns, water does not, so you could set the mixture on fire. Of course, you would lose the alcohol that way....and actually,....you would eventually lose the water too, because it might evaporate due to the heat!

When you're making ramen noodle soup should you boil the water first and then add the noodles or boil the water and noodles at the same time?
you need to boil the water first then add the noodles
How can one differentiate between water and alcohol with tasting or smelling it?
Boil/Freeze it. The alcohol will have a higher boiling point and lower freezing point than the water will.
Which water boils first deminlize water or salted water?
water will boil first not salted water
Why should alcohol be brought to a boil only in a hot water bath?
Because it is inflammable and if you bring it to a boil by direct heating there is a risk of it catching alight.
Can alcohol and water be seperated by physical means?
Sure! It's called distillation and it's done all the time, especially in Kentucky. Alcohol's boiling point is lower than water's is. If you heat an alcohol-water solution to alcohol's boiling point, the alcohol will boil off leaving the water behind.
What do you add to water to kill baceria in it?
u can add purification pills or alcohol then boil it and burn it out
Should I boil the water first and then add bleach or add bleach then boil?
If you want the water to be more than hot enough to activate the bleach, then boil the water first. Boiling bleach is not advised, because that would produce deadly chlorine gas.
Why does lipids have to be placed in alcohol first before being placed water?
it has to be placed in alcohol first because lipids are soluble in alcohol but not in water.
Can you cook tomato sauce with sherry?
Yes, although i'd boil the sherry first to remove the alcohol !!
