Acetyl-CoA is the molecule common to the metabolism of carbohydrates, fatty acids, amino acids, and alcohol. It serves as a central molecule in cellular metabolism, being the entry point for the citric acid cycle and playing a key role in the production of energy through the metabolism of various nutrients.

An alcohol is an organic molecule that contains the hydroxyl (-OH) functional group. Any organic compound whose molecules contains one or more hydroxyl groups is classified as an alcohol.
Carbohydrates, such as sugars and starches, are a common substance that provide energy for the body when broken down through metabolism.
The subscript 2, combined with the fact that the symbol for carbon atoms does not occur anywhere else in the formula, means that each molecule of ethyl alcohol contains two carbon atoms.
A single sugar molecule is a simple carbohydrate composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. Common examples include glucose and fructose. These molecules are the building blocks of more complex carbohydrates and provide energy to the body.
"Carbohydrates" are any organic compound with the empirical formula Cm(H2O)n (where m could be different from n); that is, consists only of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, with a hydrogen:oxygen atom ratio of 2:1 (as in water). Carbohydrates can be viewed as hydrates of carbon, hence their name.The term is most common in biochemistry, where it is a synonym of saccharide. Since many different molecules are classified as carbohydrates, there is no single name for "the carbohydrate molecule."
Each lipid molecule is composed of three fatty acid molecules attached to a glycerol backbone, which is the alcohol mentioned. This structure forms triglycerides, a common type of lipid found in the body and in food. Lipids play important roles in energy storage, insulation, and cell membrane structure.
Alcohol itself is not an element so it has no single symbol. The characteristic of an alcohol is OH, i.e. oxygen (O) combined with hydrogen (H), so every molecule with a OH part in it you call an alcohol. E.g. ethanol the most common alcohol is ethane with instead of a H a OH part.There are many chemical forms of alcohol, but the most common which is used in drinks is ethyl alcohol C2H5OH.Methylated spirits is ethyl alcohol to which a small percentage of methyl alcohol (CH3OH) is added to poison it to discourage its consumption.
In organic chemistry naming conventions, carbohydrates have -ose as the suffix.
Carbohydrates, Fats, and Oils have in common with each other because all three of them are lipids that store energy.
