Ethyl alcohol, also known as ethanol, drinking alcohol or grain alcohol, is a flammable, colorless, slightly toxic chemical compound with a distinctive odor, and is best known as the alcohol found in Alcoholic Beverages. In everydaylanguage, it is often referred to simply as "alcohol".
Ethanol can be used as a solvent in the manufacture of varnishes and perfumes as a preservative for biological specimens, in the preparation pf essences and flavorings, in many medicines and drugs, and as a disinfectant and in tinctures. We us ethanol in our gas. It is found in alcoholic beverages, but by far the largest use is as a motor fuel. It is used as a biofuel called bioethanol, and as a grain alcohol in drinks.
Its principal industrial use is as a solvent.

It takes 2.46 calories of heat to raise the temperature of one gram of ethyl alcohol. Calories are the energy available from the metabolism of a food.
Methyl Alcohol is not a product of fermentation so no steps are required to avoid it. You are morelikey to get annoying levels of Ethyl Acetate which is solvent smelling and tasting. Methyl Alcohol can be found in trace amounts in wine and fruit brandies but this is due to the breakdown of pectin the the cell walls of the fruit and not fermentation. Its worth noting that the treatment for Methyl Alcohol poisoning is ingestion of Ethyl Alcohol. Both are prcessed by the same enzyme which much prefers to breakdown Ethyl Alcohol. Basically they keep you drunk until all the Methyl Alcohol has been sweated/breathed/urinated out of your system. Methyl Alcohol isn't actually poisonous, BUT its metbolised by your body into chemicals that are. Any product of fermentation containing Methyl Alcohol will contain more than enough Ethyl Alcohol to protect you from it. Anyone concerned about Methyl Alcohol ingestion should read up on Aspartame. The Diet Coke you drink may exposure you to more methanol than you realise.
