The prohibition regarding alcohol appears to be sourced in a specific
prohibition against the use of intoxicants which, if I am not mistaken, is
classed with the prohibitions against gambling and the worship of idols.
Thus the use of alcohol in various forms as an intoxicant is prohibited.
Alcohol as a substance in its other uses would appear not be prohibited.
Thus it could be used as a fuel, as a solvent, and in medicinal use. Of
couse its medicinal use, if internally consumed, would appear to constitute
a rather slippery slope.
Other interpretations of the pertinent texts are of course possible. What I
have reviewed could only considered a synopsis of the issues.
