'''Ethyl Alcohol''', chemical formula '''CH<sub>3</sub>CH<sub>2</sub>OH''', sometimes simply known as '''Alcohol''', is a drug used by both [[humans]] and [[Prophets]]. It has several medicinal uses, but is most well known for its intoxicating effects (it can be used as a depressant), and as such is used in a wide variety of alcoholic beverages, for example, the ancient Human beverage [[Beer]] is a standard drug carried aboard [[UNSC]] [[starship]]s and facilities. It is a flammable, colorless, mildly toxic chemical compound with a distinctive perfume-like odor, and is the alcohol found in alcoholic beverages. It has a number of medical uses as well. While these were never specifically mentioned, historical earth armies used ethyl alcohol (and alcoholic beverages) as an antiseptic and general anesthetic. This being so, it is very possible the UNSC continues this use when better alternatives are unavailable. The [[Covenant]] also possessed alcohol or a very similar intoxicant<ref>[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]</ref>. | '''Ethyl Alcohol''', chemical formula '''CH<sub>3</sub>CH<sub>2</sub>OH''', sometimes simply known as '''Alcohol''', is a drug used by both [[humans]] and [[Prophets]].
