But then again, it is a chemist's hypothesis, so what do you expect.
Hey Chemistry is as much an intrinsic science as physics. And even in bead form, inter-molecular forces play a role so alcohol directed polarity will still exist in a drained glass. As you should know if physics was so important to you!
I never said it didn't exist. Chemists do great stuff, polymers and everything, just wonderful. But one thing they just can't do is put everything in a perspective of orders of magnitude. It exists, but the cumulative effect is so small compared to all the other forces, it hardly makes a difference, especially on a glass substrate.
