The alcohol is probably working in the same way warm water and salt work, only it's not as effective.
You can buy saline nose spray at the store. (NEVER buy regular nose spray because it's habit-forming within three days.) Or, if you feel an attack coming on and have none, mix a pinch of salt with warm water and inhale it.
The salt works on mucus the same way it works on a snail. It dissolves it.
I must say, I've had sinus problems all my life, have seen many allergists, gone through all kinds of treatments (including weekly shots), but I've never heard of inhaling alcohol....Now drinking it to forget about how miserable your allergies are making your feel....That's another story!
