The specific features of clustering in the aqueous solutions of monohydric alcohols with concentrations higher than that at the peculiar point are discussed. Clustering is a result of the formation of hydrogen bonds between water and alcohol molecules, the energy of which some-what exceeds the energy of hydrogen bonds in the water-water and alcohol-alcohol molecular pairs. Elementary clusters are assumed to be formed, whose composition is fixed at the solution concentrations lower than that at the peculiar point and changes according to a certain law at higher concentrations. The solution clustering degree was determined as a function of the solution concentration and the temperature.
