I was giving some room for the new kids to tell
me that my reply was dated.  Not that I was an expert
in the current tricks of the trade.

Depending on the sugar solubility in alcohol is very low
when compared to water.   But since pure +99% alcohol is 
not common this is not obvious.... 

Even 100 proof is only 50% alcohol so outside of a chem lab
most of us will not be impacted by the solubility issue.

Multiple sugars, multiple alcohols... all different
so who knows what chemicals the OP might end up trying.

BTW: I recall wishing I could afford to buy some of those S100 boards.
My pockets were not deep enough at that time.
