Is ethanol the only safe alcohol to drink?

Depends on what definition of “Alcohol” you use.

If you use the “clear colorless liquid that gets you stupid when you drink it” definition, then, yes, ethanol is the only one that’s not likely to cause grievious ill effects if consumed regularly.

However, if you use the more general OChem definition of “almost anything with an -OH” dangling off one end… there are a lof of alcohols that you can eat/drink without dying in a fortnight. Many popular artificial sweetners are alcohols- xylitol and sorbitol, to name a couple. Menthol is another alcohol you’ll probably recognize. I doubt you’d respond well to a big frosty mug of menthol (you’d chip your teeth most likely- it’s a solid), but I don’t think it would kill you outright.
