The alcohol that you drink is named 'Ethanol' ( archaically, Ethyl Alcohol).
Its formula is ' CH3CH2OH'.
With in this formula it has '=
2 x C ; Two carbon atoms
6 x H ; Six hydrigen atoms
1 x O ; One oxygen atom .
In beers it is only about 5% of the total volume.
In wines it is about 10% of the total volume
In Fortified wines (sherry) it is abourt 20% by volume
In spirits (Whisky , Gin) etc., it is about 40/45% by volume.
The vast bulk of the volume of these alcholic beveridges is water, together with flavanoids, which give it its taste and colour.
So alcoholic drinks are a solution. However, the greater the percentage of alcohol the quicker you will become intoxicated/inebriated(drunk).

What chemicals are in drinking alcohol?
All drinking alcohols--spirits, wines or beers--contain a mixture of water and ethanol, which is the chemical name for what is considered drinking alcohol. Ethanol is the chemical that is reported as the percentage of alcohol by volume or the proof. All drinking alcohols also contain different concentrations of cogeners, or coproducts of the fermentation process that is used to create the ethanol. These include various compounds produced by the yeast as waste and left over oils and flavors from the fruit and grains used. Yeast generally produces large amounts of CO2, which account for the bubbles found in some wines and beers. It also produces methanol and acetone, which gives harsh flavors to some spirits if they are not properly removed.
