Yes, it is true.
Naphthalene is said to be somewhat soluble in ethyl alcohol (ethanol). It is insoluble in water and very soluble in ether, chloroform, or carbon disulfide.
Benzene is the most soluble solvent in gasoline due to their similar chemical properties. Water is the least soluble solvent in gasoline as they are immiscible. Ethanol falls in between, being partially soluble in gasoline.
I would replace that word 'most' with 'totally' ... ethanol and water mix in all proportions.
Most alcohols are soluble in both methanol and ethanol due to their similar chemical properties.
The solubility of capsaicin varies in different solvents. It is most soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and acetone, and less soluble in water.

Alprazolam is soluble in ethanol.
Beer does contain ethyl alcohol (ethanol). Beer is made from water, barley, hops, and yeast. The water and barley are mashed to produce sugars that the yeast metabolizes to produce ethanol. Beer yeast can produce alcohol levels from 2.5-18% alcohol by volume.
mixtureAdded:Chemically speaking alcohol is meant to be ethanol, which is a pure compound with formula CH3CH2OH, it definitely is not a mixture, except when 'dissolved' in water (most stable solution: 4% water + 96% ethanol. (This is what you get when buying a bottle pure ethanol)

No because alcohol is polar and only polar chemicals mix with other polar chemcials. Oil is not polar, making it unable to mix with alcohol. I think actually most or all types of alcohol do mix with oil. I am not certain about every type but the ethanol (the kind in adult beverages) molecule has a polar end and a nonpolar end. Isopropyl alcohol also dissolves oil. That ethanol mixes with both alcohol and water has an interesting application. Spirits such as ouza are almost pure ethanol and aromatic oils. When it is poured into water the ethanol is soluable but the aromatic oils are not and a cloudy white emulsion of water/ethanol with oil dropletts is formed. This effect is called louching. Another spirit that does this is arak and to a lesser extent absinthe. I think perfumes that are alcohol and oils should do this too.
biphenyl is soluble in ethanol and also in most of organic solvents
No. They have very different densities. There are several types of alcohol, but for these purposes, we will use ethanol, the alcohol found in drinks. Density of water ≈ 1g/cm3 Density of ethanol = 0.789g/cm3 Density of mercury = 13.5 g/cm3 So water is about 20% denser than alcohol, and mercury is more than 13 times denser than water. Note that the density given from ethanol is for pure ethanol. Most alcoholic beverages are mixtures, with densities between those of water and pure ethanol.
Yes it is definitely soluble in methyl alcohol through experimental observation but to the extent of polarity is what i am trying to figure out. There should be a difference in solubility of benzophenone in methyl alcohol and in hexane. It is def. partially soluble in hexane and im guessing it is suppose to be completely soluble in methyl alcohol. I must have just messed up in the lab
