Question

The use of alcohol through history is entrenched in the messy complications of human life—social norms, culture, rituals, religion, economics, medical beliefs, fun times, and probably much more. The therapeutic use of alcohol appears to be as old as alcohol itself and is, unsurprisingly, common to many cultures throughout time and across the world.

Q1 Theory:  Discuss what kinds of reactions are common to alcohols? Provide an example of each? (250-300 words)
