Vegetable oil, CAS # 9083-41-4, has a molecular weight of approximately 860 g/mol, and is far less volatile than the relatively tiny ethyl alcohol molecule, which has a molecular weight of approximately 46 g/mol. A larger molecular such as vegetable oil takes more energy in order for it to phase transition from the liquid state to a gaseous state.

I has two methyl groups and looks like CH3-CH3-OH. This is the type of alcohol found in the alcoholic beverages people consume. Both compounds are organic and are good solvents and fixatives.
Why glycerol is more viscous then ethyl alcohol?
Glycerol (Glycerin) contains three 'OH' groups at adjacent carbon atoms so the chances of ' hydrogen bonding' are higher than normal alcohols and such a liquid is denser than ethyl alcohol so it is more viscous.
