I like alcohol do you?

I love it even though I haven't drank much yet. In chemistry its basically a hydroxyl group that binds to a saturated carbon atom.

Oh yeah chemicals are so bad haha. Thankfully Rhazes distilled alcohol for the first time way back between 854 and 925 CE, otherwise we'd be dry haha!

I know, it's crazy! Also the "-ol" at the end is to indicate that it contains a hydroxyl functional group.
