We show that the anomalous negative excess entropy of mixing characteristic of aqueous lower alcohols containing hydrophobic groups is quantitatively consistent with a model exploiting only the experimentally observed molecular-scale segregation of the components across the entire concentration range. The simple model presented here, which uses plausible interatomic distances as its only free parameters, obviates the need to invoke iceberg or other water restructuring concepts which, though frequently postulated in explaining the hydrophobic interaction, are unsupported by recent experiments.
