Water is "wet" because of the sum of its physical properties:
1. It is adhesive-somewhat sticky. It tends to stay on things until wiped off.
2. It is cohesive. Water sticks to itself, meaning it tends to cover in a sheet (think of water on a clean glass).
3. Water is viscous. It is slightly "syrupy" meaning it is well-behaved as it pours or flows from a tap or pitcher.
4. Water is polar, meaning that the molecules readily dissolve other polar substances, including the salts and some of the lipids on your skin.

Because it is a polar molecule with negative oxygen at one end and positive hydrogens at the other. Because the hydrogens are small they can get very close to other atoms. That closeness and the positive charge causes what is called a "hydrogen bond" that attaches water easily to many things. So, it's wet.

"wet" means that it has water. It's just the definition.

dry is relative in this case. any alcohol that touches your skin makes you have same feeling but since alcohol evaporates faster than water, you can not feel it more. water evaporates slowly than you feel it more.
