Alcohols are a group of diverse organic
compounds, among them ethanol, methanol, propanol and butanol. All 
alcoholic beverages sold legally must be clearly marked with the 
percentage of alcohol the drink contains. That number is a measure of
how strong the beverage is. In entertaining episodes our Chemical 
Reporter answers questions of our Podcast listeners on Chemistry in 
our everyday life.
