Smoke from oil filler hole

the other day i pulled into my buddies drive way and popped the hood to look at the fuse box.

well my buddy who mind you had been drinking all day long unscrewed the oil filler hole right after i had shut er down. well a little bit of white/clear smoke rose out of the hole. anyone know if this is normal and what it is?

i quickly grabbed it out of his hand and put the cap back on. last thing i needed was for him to add 12oz of beer to my crankcase.

Yes, it's normal. Just a little blowby.
