Added:
Chemically speaking alcohol is meant to be ethanol, which is a pure compound with formula CH3CH2OH, it definitely is not a mixture, except when 'dissolved' in water (most stable solution: 4% water + 96% ethanol. (This is what you get when buying a bottle pure ethanol)

If you could get 100-percent ethanol it would be a pure substance. Ethanol absorbs water from the air - what chemists call "hygroscopic" - so readily that even the purest ethanol imaginable, the second you expose it to air, will contain at least a slight bit of water.
