In making a home-style wassail beer will too much alcohol be lost by heating it?

Why not just have a brewed spice beer at room temp?
But yeah if you heat it too much I think you will lose some of it. Then you need a shot to make up the loss.
If you have a Beverages and More near you, look for some of the Belgian christmas ails, they are quite good at room temp.
If you must heat beer don’t boil it, and use a double boiler on warm or low. This will minimize alcohol evaporation.
Unless you are hell-bent on cooking your beer to produce this drink may I say, Don’t Do It. First and as previously stated spiced-wassail style Beers are available on the market. Secondly, you will just ruin a nice beer to make a drink that is already brewed for you. Lastly, in the vain of saving the beer, you can use a cheaper beer than a Belgian or Belgian style beer. This is then is a good thing for both you and the beer. The beer you want, a spiced beer, will mask most if not all the subtle flavors anyway. So go cheap.
