Their initial weight, weighed at the same

Was that before or after the alcohol soak?

What might be interesting to note is the weight of the bowl before and
after the soak, and the weight of the tub of alcohol before and after.
Or a chemical analysis of the alcohol to see how much water it gains
during the soak.
