Alcohol would probably not work out. Too low a boiling point.
When alcohol was used it need to be topped off regularly since it boiled off.
If you want to run with a water, Lubegard Kool-It or Wynn's Supplemental Coolant Additive are the way to go.
Either would be more effective at corrosion protection than 10% antifreeze.

If I remember correctly when alcohol was commonly used a 140* thermostat was used also.
After a warm day in winter it would boil away.
Today's engines wouldn't operate properly at 140.
