There's a lot more than two.

Ethanol is the kind of alcohol in booze.

Isopropanol (2-propanol) is the kind in "rubbing alcohol".

Methanol is used as a solvent and in spirit lamps.

Ethylene glycol (ethan-1,2-diol) is used in antifreeze.

Glycerin (propan-1,2,3-triol) is used as a thickener and sweetener in foods and for making soap.

... and that's just a few off the top of my head. Vitamin C is an alcohol. All sugars are alcohols. Carbolic "acid" is actually an alcohol.
