The chemical and psychotropic properties of alcohol are distinct. Alcohols are compounds that, in chemistry, have had their hydrogen atoms replaced by hydroxyl groups. Secondary alcohols are the result of alcohols combining with other particles. Methanol, isopropanol, and ethanol are the three forms of secondary alcohol consumed regularly by humans.</div> <div class="uk-width-expand"> <article class="post_information"> <p class="ql-align-justify">Types of Alcohol</p> <p class="ql-align-justify">It’s no secret to anyone who’s shopped at a supermarket that there are hundreds of different kinds of booze to choose from.
