Best Answer

The phrase "clinical name" is vague.

According to IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) rules, the official name of the sort of alcohol in Alcoholic Beverages is ethanol. It's also called ethyl alcohol or (if you're feeling particularly perverse) hydroxyethane or (if you're feeling particularly pedantic in a kind of not-actually-pedantic-at-all way) ethan-1-ol or by any of a number of other terms ("neutral spirits", for example).

Answer: My guess is the question refers to the most common one. If this is the case, then the official name is ethanol, or ethyl alcohol (CH3CH2OH)
