The chemical structure of alcohol is similar to the macronutrient carbohydrate.The primary reason for this is that alcohol can be derived from the fermentation of sugars and it is an organic compound.
However when looking at the basic structure of an alcohol, it more closely resembles the inorganic micronutrient water, as one of the hydrogen atoms of water is replaced by the alkyl group of alcohol.
