Lmao i forget cuz for the longest time now i just gotta stick it in the FX and hit start!I think the boiling point of alcohol is around 69°C aka 156°F, so a lot lower temperature than boiling water. I suppose some decarbing occurs at those temperatures. We used to boil it until the 98% alcohol was gone and then boil it some more to get rid of the 2% of water, and the results would knock you on your butt. Only had one flash and nobody got hurt. As noted, the fumes from boiling alcohol can be somewhat explosive so I wouldn't recommend boiling it. I decarb dry bud at 240°F now in the oven before I infuse it into MCT oil.
[EDIT: I looked it up, and ethanol boils at 78°C or 172°F]
