An alcohol thermometer is a type of thermometric device that measures temperature using alcohol as the thermometric fluid. The alcohol, usually dyed for visibility, expands and rises in a glass tube when heated and contracts when cooled. The scale on the side of the tube allows users to read the temperature based on the level of the liquid within the tube.
