Apart from the formation of ethanol, You can't use alkenes direct hydration method to produce an alcohol where the OH group is at the end of a chain. Using propene (CH3CH=CH2), but-1-ene (CH3CH2CH=CH2) andbut-2-ene (CH3CH=CHCH3) as examples, explain why that is.

It is not necessary that in alcohols, OH should be at the end of a chain .

It can be anywhere in the chain..
