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.
