Ethanol is abbreviated as EtOH, using the common organic chemistry notation of representing the ethyl group (C₂H₅) with Et. This designation is used both by EMS and Hospital ER staff when describing alcohol intoxication, and is found in most chemistry textbooks as well.

Ethanol is a straight-chain alcohol, and its molecular formula is C₂H₅OH. An alternative notation is CH₃-CH₂-OH, which indicates that the carbon of a methyl group (CH₃-) is attached to the carbon of a methylene group (-CH₂-), which is attached to the oxygen of a hydroxyl group (-OH).
