Both alcohols and oil are organic compounds. The hydrocarbons in crude oil are mostly alkanes, cycloalkanes and various aromatic hydrocarbons, and tend not to contain oxygen, nitrogen, etc. Alcohols DO contain oxygen, in the form of the functional -OH alcoholic group. Alcohols are more reactive than the compounds in oil.
