"Alcohol" is actually a general term for any compound containing an -OH (hydroxyl) group bonded to a carbon which itself is bonded only to hydrogens and other carbons. In common conversation, alcohol refers to drinking alcohol, or ethyl alcohol, abbreviated EtOH. It has the chemical formula C2H5OH.
