General name for a family of substances that can be mixed with water and fats. The most common alcohol is ethyl alcohol (ethanol), but there are many other alcohols, such as methanol and butanol. The degree of an alcoholic solution corresponds to the volume of pure alcohol present in 100 ml of solution, bearing in mind that 1 balloon glass of wine or 1 half of beer (25 cl) contains around 8 g of alcohol.
When alcohol is used as an antiseptic, an unpleasant-smelling denaturant is often added to prevent it from being drunk. Contrary to popular belief, 70° (or even 60°) alcohol is a better antiseptic than 90° alcohol.
