The simplest alcohol containing only one carbon is called methanol. Its chemical formula is CH₃OH, and it consists of a single carbon atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms and one hydroxyl group (-OH). Methanol is a colorless, volatile liquid commonly used as a solvent, antifreeze, and fuel. However, it is toxic and can be harmful if ingested.
it depends of the kind of alcohol,there are primary alcohol(R-CH2OH), secondary alcohol, tertiary alcohol etc. but we can identify an alcohol by the chemical formula:R-OHEthanol (drinking alcohol )or Ethyl alcoholC2H5OHIsopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) CH3-CH(OH)-CH3Formula: R-OHWhere R is is an carbon containing organic groupyou get drunk
A molecule is deemed and termed to be organic if it contains Carbon and hydrogen. Methane [CH4] is the simplest example. Carbon forms chains i.e. -C-C-C-C- etc, and has room for two side branches 'to boot!' Organic chemistry is the basis for Biochemistry.
These are called saturated hydrocarbons.
This branch is called organic chemistry.

Alcohol is the common name for a family of organic (carbon based) compounds with a structure of an alkane (Carbon-Hydrogen) base with an OH (Oxygen-Hydrogen) addition. The simplest and most commonly known are: Methyl Alcohol or Methanol (C2H3OH) - wood alcohol which is marketed as Methylated Spirits, a common fuel and cleaner; and Ethyl Alcohol or Ethanol (C2H5OH) in alcoholic drinks such as beer, wines and spirits. There are many other forms of alcohol with carbon chains and cyclic structures, with up to 20 or more carbon atoms per molecule.
Compounds containing carbon are referred to as organic compounds
They are called macromolecules.
fermentation
A compound containing the functional group called alcohol is an organic compound in which a hydroxyl group (OH) is attached to a carbon atom. Examples include ethanol (found in alcoholic beverages), methanol (used as a solvent), and propanol (used in industry and as a solvent).
Drinking alcohol is called ethanol, and it contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. (C6H5OH)
