Alcohol evaporate faster than water because water has extensive hydrogen bonding between its molecules which results in its high boiling point whereas in alcohol, amount of hydrogen bonding is smaller as compared to water.

This makes the boiling point of alcohol less than water.

Because the enthalpy of vaporization of water is higher than the enthalpy of vaporization of ethanol. The difference is not so great.
