This is because the two are miscible in each other. Correct me if I'm wrong, the miscibility is because both of them are polar fluids. They both have the -OH groups in them.

Your drunk ex-girlfriend sneaks in when you're not looking and takes a big gulp. Therefore, the volume isn't reduced, it's just displaced. After 2AM, you'll find it in cell 23B at your local police station.
EDIT: OK. I don't know the answer to the question. So, the volume is reduced, but does the mass stay the same?

It has something to do with the hydrogen bonding. hydrogen bonds form between the water and ethyl alcohol molecules. the hydrogen shares the same space sort of.

Yes. Mix 500 mL water and 500 mL ethanol, and the result is 950 mL of solution.

yes, because the water molucule is larger the alcohol mol will fill in the gap of the water mol

I would assume it's because the alcohol would evaporate rapidly.
