Ethanol is the proper scientific name for the type of alcohol that's reasonably safe for humans to drink. It's what makes people drunk, and bring some flavour.
An alcohol is an organic molecule containg one or more -OH groups. The hydroxide groups are polar and can form hydrogenbonds with surrounding molecules like water, which makes most alcohols (except for very apolar alcohols) solveable in water. Alcohols are often used in organic chemistry as they can easily be deprotonated for substitution reactions in the formation of more complex molecules, often forming ethers. Carboxylic acids also contain a hydroxide group but these are situated on the same carbon atom that holds the very polar double bonded oxygen, making them acidic.
Alcohol is not used for clothes washing; soaps and detergents are.
Hydrogen molecules and oxygen molecules can be easily split by what electrolysis. This is the process which is used to breakdown water.
Anhydrous magnesium sulfate is a drying agent which removes water molecules which might cause contamination to the product. The high attraction for water molecules was due to the charged Mg2+ and SO42- ions. [2]

Heat makes molecules move. Alcohol, if used as a solvent, makes some molecules more mobile.
