Why I microwave my beer

The US Army believes--and rightly so--that no American should be without a honkin' big refrigerator. So to make up for our little freezerless Belgian, the Army loans us a US model (a big shoutout to all you taxpayers). The only problem is that it has only one temperature control for both the refrigerator and freezer; so to keep our ice from melting, we have to keep the refrigerator way too cold for our Belgian beer. Which is why I microwave it for a few seconds, to boost it to proper serving temperature.

What effect does microwaving have on the alcohol content? I guess with the potency of Belgian beer, it really doesn't matter a lot.
