    But, it’s not. Alcohol is not a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances, nor a substance dissolved into another.

    It’s its own chemical category of one or more hydroxyl groups bound to a saturated carbon atom.

        Something like “Alcohol isn’t a solution, but it can be a solvent for the right problem” would be clever and true.
