Quote:
The DEA interprets the Controlled Substances Act to mean that if a drug with even a low potential for abuse – say, equivalent to a Schedule V drug – has no accepted medical use, then it must remain in Schedule I 10 (http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-...=01-9306-filed):

When it comes to a drug that is currently listed in schedule I, if it is undisputed that such drug has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States and a lack of accepted safety for use under medical supervision, and it is further undisputed that the drug has at least some potential for abuse sufficient to warrant control under the CSA, the drug must remain in schedule I. In such circumstances, placement of the drug in schedules II through V would conflict with the CSA since such drug would not meet the criterion of "a currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States." 21 USC 812(b).
Does alcohol have any accepted medical use?

Alcohol, being the traditional Western intoxicant, is not considered to be a drug and doesn't fall under the control of these laws.

To answer your question more directly, yes, alcohol has medical uses. It's used to stimulate circulation in people who have mild hypothermia. It was once used as an anesthetic. Haven't you ever watched any westerns? "Drink this whiskey and bite down on this stick. I'll see if I can dig that bullet out of your leg." It's used to sterilize instruments and wounds.

Those are just three that come to mind. Considering the length of time it's been around, I'm sure it's had dozens of medical applications.
