In chemistry, "alcohol" is a word used for a general classification of molecules. The simplest one -- methanol -- is the 1-carbon alcohol; it's quite poisonous (ingestion causes blindness!) but because it dissolves bug splat well its most common consumer use is windshield cleaner. The 2-carbon alcohol is ethanol, it's not poisonous and most common, it's the alcohol in wine, beer, and liquor. Anti- freeze used in cars (shown below) is toxic, it's made of a different 2-carbon alcohol called ethylene glycol. The most common 3-carbon alcohol is isopropanol; it's widely sold in stores under a different name, it's widely used in homes, but it's toxic and not for drinking! What is this common household name of isopropanol? 2 words. [Google "household name isopropanol"]

Dixie Bee wanted to make JELL-O shots for her next party, but felt guilty about encouraging her guests to consume alcohol. She tried to compensate for the toxicity of the alcohol by adding pieces of healthy fresh pineapple to the shots, but when she did, the JELL-O never solidified. What happened? Hint: JELL-O is mainly sugar and a gelatinous mixture of proteins.
