Not correct - clarify maybe....
Alcoholic beverages work because cap is alcohol soluable- it is not
'neutralized', just washed away or diluted.
Right. Much more soluble in fats (ice cream) or oils (chile oil) or
organic solvents like alcohol, acetone, benzene etc. than in water.
Techie term for capsaicin (N-Vanillyl-8-methyl-6-(E)-noneamide) in
water is "lyophobic" (water hating).
........or muddy maybe
