Methyl alcohol (methanol) will not stay mixed with gasoline in very cold temperatures but I this is the first time that I have ever heard anyone say that ethyl alcohol (ethanol) with separate from gas over a period of time. I will check with a friend that is in the fuel alcohol business and see under what conditions this can occur.

You are right when you say that "alcohol sucks up water". Ethyl alcohol is hygroscopic and will attract humidity from the air. The best solution to counteract this is to keep the fuel tank as full as possible while the vehicle sits in storage.
