Iodoform test. It works because ethanol is oxisidised to ethanal in the rxn, which answers iodoform.

IODOFORM TEST
the alcohol is reacted with iodine and NaOH which gives a yellow precipitate of methyl iodide..
if the alcohol contains methyl grp on alpha carbon, it will give ppt..othrwsie not!!!
so only ethyl alcohol answers this test..
