what would happen to the alcohol?
If you had a container of alcohol and kept "contaminating it" (rather than removing an amount for a specific application). What would happen to the alcohol? Would it lose its' effectiveness or would you have a container of alcohol and a lot of dead/sterile germs, bacteria, virus etc.
EDIT: Mike why would the effectiveness be diminished?

You would contaminate it for the same reason that you would contaminate water if you tapped into it. Dead, sterile bacteria are still bacteria. It would lose its effectiveness because its concentration would be altered.

Both.
