$the \: anhydrous \: calcium \: chloride \\ reacts \: with \: alcohols \: such \: as \: methanol \\ \:and \: ethanol \: to \: form \: alcoholates.$
$the \: calcium \: chloride \: will \: react \: \\ with \: the \: ethanol \: to \: form \: \\ cacl2 .2c2h5oh$

$hence \\ not \: anhydrous \: calcium \: chloride \: \\ be \: used \: for \: drying \: ethyl \: alcohol \:$
