An "alcohol" is simply an OH group on a hydrocarbon. There are many different types of alcohols. Methanol (Wood Alcohol) is a single carbon atom with an OH group. It is poisonous to humans. The density of pure methanol is 0.7918 g/cc. Ethanol (alcohol found in beer, wine, liquor) is a chain of 2 carbon atoms with an OH group on one end. The density of pure ethanol, is 0.789 g/cc. Isopropanol (rubbing alcohol) is a chain of 3 carbon atoms with an OH group in the middle. The density of pure isopropanol is 0.786 g/cc. Now, frequently alcohol is mixed with water which has a density of 1.0 g/cc. For example in wine or beer, and thus the density would be higher (closer to 1.0). You can use a hydrometer to measure the density of your fluid and get an estimate of the concentration of alcohol.
