The chemical formula of ethanol is C2H5OH which shows that it is a hydrocarbon and belongs to the family of Alcohols. All of the bonds in CH3CH2OH are predominately covalent. The C-C bonds are nearly 100% covalent. The C-H bonds are very covalent and C-O bonds and O-H bonds are covalent but a bit more polar, with the O-H bond being the most polar of all of the covalent bonds.

If you go beyond a single molecule of ethanol, there is hydrogen bonding between molecules. The attraction between molecules is also contributed to by London dispersion forces.
