Alcohol (chemical designation ethyl alcohol or ethanol) is a colorless, liquid chemical, usually the by-product of fermenting sugar. Alcohol is a powerful psychoactive drug with intoxicating effects in humanoids.
Alcohol is often replaced by synthehol, which carries all the properties of alcohol, but without the deleterious effects. When mixed with a theragen derivative, it blocks certain nerve impulses to the brain and can be used to treat the "madness" caused by exposure to interphase. (TOS: "The Tholian Web")
In 2374, an unnamed lifeform, having newly stolen Tom Paris' form, replicated five alcoholic beverages in USS Voyager's mess hall and became thoroughly intoxicated. (VOY: "Vis à Vis")
