Alcohol, in a chemical context, refers to a class of organic compounds characterized by one or more hydroxyl (-OH) groups attached to a carbon atom. The most commonly known type is ethanol, which is the active ingredient in Alcoholic Beverages. Ethanol is produced through the fermentation of sugars by yeast and acts as a central nervous system depressant, influencing mood and behavior. In addition to its recreational use, alcohol also has applications in industry and medicine.
