One bucket contains a gallon of water, another a gallon of alcohol. A cup of alcohol from the second bucket is poured into a bucket of water. A cup of the resulting mixture is then poured back into the bucket of alcohol. Is there:

a) More water in the alcohol than alcohol in the water;

b) More alcohol in the water than water in the alcohol;

c) The same amount of water in the alcohol as alcohol in the water?

b) More alcohol in the water than water in the alcohol

Alcohol is less dense than water, so should presumably float on top. This is probably why bartenders add the spirits before the mixers in drinks.

It all comes down to how far the cup is dipped the second time.

If you go deep down of course there will be more water than alcohol.

Do you know what the result is when your son spills sodium sulphite on his shorts during his chemistry class?
