Answer:
Alcoholic Drinks
The word "alcohol" in alcoholic drinks refers to ethanol (CH3CH2OH).
Industrial methylated spirits
Ethanol is usually sold as industrial methylated spirits, which is ethanol with a small quantity of methanol and possibly some color added. Because methanol is poisonous, industrial methylated spirits are unfit to drink, allowing purchasers to avoid the high taxes levied on alcoholic drinks.
Ethanol as a solvent
Ethanol is widely used as a solvent. It is relatively safe and can be used to dissolve many organic compounds that are insoluble in water. It is used, for example, in many perfumes and cosmetics.
