Alcohol wets glass due to its low surface tension and high polarity. The hydroxyl group in alcohol molecules interacts with the polar surface of the glass, leading to a stronger attraction between the alcohol and the glass compared to the attraction between the glass molecules themselves. This causes the alcohol to spread out and form a thin film on the glass surface, rather than bead up like non-polar liquids such as oil.

Does alcohol stick to glass?

Alcohol can adhere to the surface of a glass, especially if the glass has not been properly cleaned or if there are residues present. This can create a thin film on the glass. Regular washing with soap and water can help remove this residue.
