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.
