How long is vodka good for when left unsealed?

Question by Shultik: How long is alcohol (vodka) good for when left unsealed?
I have a glass of vodka that has sat out for 24 hours, does this diminish the alcohol properties by not storing it in air-tight containers?

Thanks

    If it wasn't stupidly hot, it'll be fine.

    Alcohol will evaporate eventually if not sealed properly in direct sunlight, but 24 hours isn`t enough to evaporate it all (even in sunlight). There still is a high amount of the original alcohol content in the glass. My suggestion to keep it fresh, put it in a waterbottle and close the cap, then put into freezer. I am a barmaid and we keep self measuring 1 oz pouring caps on our whiskey and other booze at work. The caps automatically closes the alcohol pour off when 1 oz of booze has poured out. These caps aren`t 100% airtight either and I often serve alot of hard booze to my clients and they do get drunk. We have rubber protective caps the cover these self measuring caps for health reasons but these are also not 100% airtight cuz they allow tiny amounts of air to pass into the bottles because they are not 100% form fitting. The booze sits out on our booze display counter until all the booze is gone from the bottle. It can take a few months sometimes to empty the bottles out because they are the larger bottles. The booze sits on the counter not 100% air tight for months and ppl still get drunk off of it. We keep the booze outta the sunlight too cuz that normally causes alcohol to evaportate.

    Depends on the temperature it was stored in.

    Alcohol is more volatile than water so will evaporate off faster depending on the conditions it's stored in (even a glass of water will eventually evaporate if left long enough).

    So if it has been in a warm environment, especially a dry one, then some of the alcohol will have gone, but not much

    To be honest I would beworried about what might have got INTO it, not what might have come OUT of it.
