Aside being hydrogen bonding liquids, water and alcohols are not usually discussed comparatively in the literature and textbooks, since their physico-chemical properties are very dierent . This dierence can be primarily attributed to the fact that alcohol molecules have neutral CH groups attached the OH hydroxyl head group, while water has none. Yet, the analysis of static correlation functions and clusters show many analogies, all of which stem from the charge ordering induced by the OH chaining. This is the starting point of our analysis, deliberately ignoring dierences in macroscopic properties, and in search of a common explanatory ground at microscopic level. As a basis for a counter argument, it is noteworthy that the partial charges on the oxygen and hydrogen atoms dier between the water and alcohol models (see the SI document). Indeed, Fig. shows the structure factors corresponding to functions shown in Fig. , and the pre-peaks are quite apparent for methanol and ethanol S OO (k), as signaled by the vertical lines. These k-peaks are equally found for the S OH (k)
