Honestly if all you care about is what it's classified as instead of how it makes those people with it feel you're an idiot.
Alcohol is fuel!!11 Don't drink fuel it's bad omg stop dribking alcohol right now!! Don't you know it's technically fuel!!!!
You're mixing up Ethanol and Alcohol
The alcohol that's mixed into things that you drink is 'ethyl' alcohol, which is produced by yeast. The yest eat some kind of sugar or starch and turn it into carbon dioxide and alochol. In wine, the yeast eats the sugar in grape juice to create alcohol.
Ethanol that you purchase as a fuel is the same kind of alcohol found in whiskey, but it has been distilled to the point where it is nearly pure alcohol (as opposed to whiskey which is typically only 40% alcohol and 60% water).
