No. Most are oil-based and many are water-based.
There are hundreds of shades of stain in all kinds of medium. I personally prefer gel stain as I find it easy to work with. Other people use liquid stains in water base or oil base.
You need to tell us what wood you are staining ! -All woods respond differently to different stains.
Yes, but with any wood surface that you stain you must have a clean surface. If you have removed all the old paint and you are down to bare wood then you probably should brush on Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner, Minwax runs about 10-11 bucks a quart. If ANY paint or primer is left on wood you will get spots that will only show up after you stain so make sure it is clean and bare.
Rubbing alcohol (or also called isopropanol/Ispropyl) is a solvent that has polar molecules (molecules with a positive charged molecule that sticks to a negative charged molecule). If you sniff a sharpie, it has a sharp, alcohol smell, right? Sharpies have n-propanol alcohol, n-butanol, and diacetone alcohol in them. They have pretty similar structures to rubbing alcohol. All alcohol have polar molecules. There is a "like dissolve like" rule. This means Polar solvent+Polar solvent=dissolve/removal. OR non-polar solvent+nonpolar solvent=dissolve/removal. The closer the molecule make-ups are, the more likely they are to dissolve or be removed.
Often, it is recommended that you wait a year to paint a wood fence to allow time for it to weather to the point where all the tannin, or in the case of pressure treated wood, all the chemicals have leeched from the wood. There are stains made to go over unweathered wood, and you can paint the fence with 100% acrylic paint or solid stain before it's weathered, but you may see tannin or chemical staining over time and it will take longer for the leeching to complete. I wouldn't recommend using oil based primer, paints or stains because they could peel off over time when coating unweathered woods. Woods that don't leech tannin, like pine, oak and spruce can be primed and painted immediately.
Pure wood alcohol is methanol, but as all alcohols are hygroscopic it cannot exist long in that state but will always be mixed with some water.Wood alcohol sold in a store may contain additives or contaminants also.

Not all cool drinks contain alcohol
I believe so. Nearly all the products out there contain alcohol.

Yes, by definition.
of course, all matter does.
One oxygen atom is in each alcohol molecule. This is true of methyl (wood) alcohol, ethyl, propyl or isopropyl alcohol and all of the alcohols based on a simple hydrocarbon chain (acyclic alcohols).

Although distilled spirits have the highest proportion of alcohol, standard drinks or servings of beer, wine and spirits all contain the same amount of alcohol....0.60 oz of pure alcohol.
all perfumes do not contain alcohol in them. besides there are also perfumes made from natural components like jojoba oil,coconut oil etc
All alcoholic drinks contain the same kind of alcohol: ethanol (C6H5OH). It is the amount of alcohol in the drink that matters, not what kind of drink.
