Hello there,

● Answer -
No reaction

● Explaination -
- Sodium bicarbonate is a weak base as it's formed by weak base (sodium hydroxide) and weak acid (carbonic acid).
- Also alcohol can act as weak acid/base like that of water.
- Weak acids and bases don't react with other, therefore no reaction will occur between alcohol and sodium bicarbonate.
