why does methylated spirits evaporate faster than water?
less surface tension - water has one of the most abnormally high levels of surface tension
For a general explanation on what determines vaopr pressure, see

Water has strong hydrogen intermolecular binding as well as a permanent dipole moment to keep the liquid phase intact and prevent evaporation. Most organic molecules do not have strong intermolecular binding, because of the strong internal carbon bonds. There are also entropy (S) issues, descibed in the reference.

Because In Heavy Water There Is Absence Of All Minerals Which Mostly Present In Mineral Water.So If We Drink Drinj Heavy Water Our Body Can Not Get Any Mineral. So We Cannot Survive.
