Why methyl aclcohol soluble in water and benzene is not?
The solubility difference between methyl alcohol (CH3OH) and benzene (C6H6) is related to the polar nature of methyl alcohol and the non polar nature of benzene. The OH group on methyl alcohol makes this a polar molecule and thus soluble in water. The lack of such a polar group in benzene makes it non polar, and thus insoluble in water.
Can water get alcohol out of your system?
Yes. Both water and alcohol are polar molecules, because each features a hydrogen atom directly bonded to an oxygen atom. This combination has a high electronegativity difference, which means a "hydrogen bond" will exist between the two molecules. This "bond" is actually a strong positive to negative attraction, and this attraction causes water and alcohol to effectively dissolve each other.
