Alcohol doesn't really have ingredients, unless you are talking about rubbing alcohol, which (in the U.S.) is really a mixture of several substances: acetone, ethyl alcohol (also known as ethanol), and methyl isobutyl ketone. If you are asking what elements combine to form alcohol, that's another story. Basically all alcohols comprise some combination of Carbon, Oxygen, and Hydrogen. Wikipedia has an excellent article on alcohol. You should check it out.
