Three part question:

1. Does alcohol really evaporate when you heat it up? I mean, I know you won't get a buzz when you add wine to frying onions, but does it really become ethyl alcohol vapor, or does the alcohol convert to sugar or something?

2. if it really does turn to vapor, what are the effects of breathing the vapor?

3. Does the process of alcohol boiling off differ from lighting vodka on fire? How?
