Answer:
Alcohols are soluble in water. ... The reason why the solubility decreases as the length of hydrocarbon chain increases is because it is requires more energy to overcome the hydrogen bonds between the alcohol molecules as the molecules are more tightly packed together as the size and mass increases.

Ethanol has an overall polarity that allows it to make hydrogen bonds to water easily, allowing solubility. Methanol, ethanol and propanol have just less enough hydrocarbon chains to make the -OH to H2O bond possible (i.e. soluble).
