Are we talking college, high school, middle school, or elementary school sponsored events?
College -- acceptable, providing the instructor does not overdo. Others, alcohol should not even be served, much less consumed.
Having said that, for many years alcohol was banned on our University campus, although I believe that's been changed in the past couple of years.
Are you talking college? Why would that be a problem (unless it was someplace like Brigham Young or Loma Linda)? I enjoy a nice glass of ETOH on occasion, and as long as you're *not* on the clock (or about to be) or doing anything illegal, I don't see a problem.
Edited to add another word that completely changes the meaning of my post.
This is the best i can do. And yes i googled, because chem isnt really a strong suit, but here it is
An oxygen atom and a hydrogen atom at the end of the chain give an alcohol. Its name is obtained by adding the suffix -ol to the name of the carbon chain. Ethanol (figure 2), for instance, is ethane (C2H6) and an -OH group characteristic of alcohols.
So,, Et,,= ethane,(organic byproduct of furmentation process), O=Oxygen, H=hydrogen = an alcohol. Wont tell you what kind of alcohol,, just that it is alcohol.
Any organic chem people,, please correct me if im wrong.

It is Ethyl Alcohol or Ethanol, the alcohol that is in alcoholic beverages.

EtOH is the abbrevieation for alcohol that is used in the hospitals.... if someone comes into the hospital drunk or suspected of using alcohol, you don't write alcohol, you write EtOH.... I spent my very first clinical in a detox unit and we never wrote alcohol, bc taken out of context, what type of alcohol are you talking about???.... rubbing alcohol, alcohol wipes, alcohol in cough syrup, alcohol in cleaning solutions??? EtOH tells you that it was liquor, beer, or wine, and not something else.....
