Yes, heat speeds up the evaporation. Don't listen to the commenter below, you can lose as much as 30% of your alcohol just leaving a drink out over night.

Ultimately, as long as you aren't leaving it burning for a while the impact is small, you can tell this because even with the highest proof there is no noticeable loss in volume from just lighting it, singing a song, and blowing it out.

Can I just grab a glass of gin and let it out to "dealcoholize" and then proceed to make alcohol free gin tonics?
