Suppose In chemistry, an alcohol is any organic compound in which the hydroxyl functional group (–OH) is bound to a saturated carbon atom. The term alcohol originally referred to the primary alcohol ethanol (ethyl alcohol), which is used as a drug and is the main alcohol present in alcoholic beverages.
Can we infer that "Ethyl alcohol became popular only after it's chemical properties were understood by scientists."? Yes, no, or maybe?
