AB Ethanol,  a  sedative-hypnotic  drug,  is  the  most  important  alcohol  of  pharmacologic  interest.  Its  abuse  causes  major  medical  and  socioeconomic  problems.  Other  alcohols  of  toxicologic  importance  are  methanol  and  ethylene  glycol.  Several  drugs  discussed  in  this  chapter  are  used  to  prevent  the  potentially  life-threatening  ethanol  withdrawal  syndrome,  to  treat  chronic  alcohol-use  disorders,  or  to  treat  acute  methanol  and  ethylene  glycol  poisoning.
