Ibinyobwa bisindisha bivuga ubwoko butandukanye bwimiti irimo hydroxyl imwe cyangwa nyinshi zikora (-OH).Ibi bikoresho bikoreshwa muburyo butandukanye, nkibishishwa, imiti yica udukoko, antifreeze, ninyongeramusaruro.Ethanol, methanol, na isopropanol ni ibinyobwa bisindisha bikunze gukoreshwa mu nganda no mubuzima bwa buri munsi.Ibinyobwa bisindisha kandi bikoreshwa mugukora imiti, amavuta yo kwisiga, hamwe nuburyohe bwibiryo.Ariko, kunywa inzoga nyinshi birashobora kugira ingaruka mbi kubuzima bwabantu, harimo kwangirika kwumwijima, kwizizirwa nurupfu.Niyo mpamvu, ni ngombwa gukoresha ibinyobwa bisindisha neza kandi ukurikije amabwiriza yumutekano.
