Ethanol

Ethanol (or alcohol) is a chemical compound consisting of the formula C 2 H 6 O. It's a volatile, flammable and colorless liquid, of which has a slight characteristic odor to it. Ethanol is naturally created by fermenting sugar with yeasts or through a petrochemical process, which turns it into the recreational drug we all know (beer, wine or spirits). Ethanol also has medical purposes, such as the use of antiseptics or disinfectants. Ethanol is also commonly used as a chemical solvent, either in chemical testing or in the synthesis of other compounds. 

Fact: It's also a psychoactive drug, which is a substance that changes the neurological side of your brain (such as behaviors, mood function and consciousness).
 Above is the chemical formula.

    This sounds like a very useful but also dangerous chemical. You have used very factual language to explain what ethanol is and how it can be used. Could you find any history on it? Who created it? Or when did it become well known and widely used?
