The ethanol reacts with oxygen to form vinegar. That too is a sanitizer but a different kind which might cause acid burns when applied to skin and stain objects it is applied to. There are also other things in regular ethanol sanitizer to help it gel and moisturize skin, these ingredients may also turn bad over time.
