In chemistry, "alcohol" is a word used for a general classification of molecules.
The simplest one -- methanol -- is the 1-carbon alcohol; it's quite poisonous
(ingestion causes blindness!) but because it dissolves bug splat well its most
common consumer use is windshield cleaner. The 2-carbon alcohol is ethanol, it's
not poisonous and most common, it's the alcohol in wine, beer, and liquor. Anti-
freeze used in cars (shown below) is toxic, it's made of a different 2-carbon
alcohol called ethylene glycol. The most common 3-carbon alcohol is
isopropanol; it's widely sold in stores under a different name, it's widely used in
homes, but it's toxic and not for drinking! What is this common household name
of isopropanol? 2 words. [Google "household name isopropanol"]
