Yes, mold can grow in alcohol, it actually grows quite well! Bacteria on the other hand, does not. Many people find particulate matter in bottles of vodka which are 40% alcohol and think it must be bacteria, but what they are actually seeing is mold in different stages of growth. Alcohol breeds mold so well (due in large part to its high sugar content) that it can be used as a growth medium for many molds!!

Mold typically does not grow in alcohol due to its high alcohol content. The presence of alcohol creates an environment that is not conducive to mold growth. However, if the alcohol content is low or if there is any introduction of contaminants, mold can potentially grow in alcohol.
