Ethanol and methanol are polar solvents (like water), and so they CAN dissolve many salts.While the carbon chain is nonpolar, the hydroxide chains are polar. Only the alcohols with carbon chains longer than 7 are immiscible. Table salt (NaCl) will dissolve in ethanol, though not as well as in water.
