It’s got alcohol in it so it won’t freeze. How can the bacteria live in alcohol?

Some bacteria is really tough. I have made a lot of fresh plant tinctures using 180 proof (90%) alcohol. The only water is what is present in the plant material yet I have seen stuff growing in jars of tincture that wasn't pressed out soon enough.
