Let's see, if I remember my organic chem. correctly:
1 carbon: methane
2 carbons: ethane
3 carbons: propane
4 carbons: butane
5 carbons: pentane
6 carbons: hexane
etc...

Add an alcohol group to it, and add -nol to the end of the formula.

If I'm not mistaken, ethanol should look like this:
H H
| |
H-C-C-OH
| |
H H

Formula: C2H5OH

Not quite sure how that could help, but who knows?
