Hey, chemistry can be weird sometimes. Try this:

Carefully measure out a quart of alcohol, as pure as you can find.
Carefully measure out a quart of water, likewise as pure as you can find.

Mix the two fluids together and note that you've got noticeably LESS than
two
quarts of the mixture. In this case, 1 + 1 = ~1.8
