Answer

While there are many types of alcohols in chemistry, the main drinkable types are: beer, wine, spirits (distilled liquors), fortified wine, liqueurs, hard cider, and mead. In chemical terms, common alcohols include methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, isopropanol, glycerol, and phenol—though only ethanol is safe for consumption.
