Yeah i know. In rocketry V-2 for example was running on ethanol/water mix with liquid oxygen as oxidiser. And experiments with ethanol based fuel for other kind of engines too never stopped entirely, though the results are rather underwhelming, at least for mass usage.
Anyone living in 90’s in postsocialist countries would not be surprised with how much alcoholic beverages overlaps with petroleum products.
Fun fact: drinking alcohol (read ethanol) can be used as fuel for combustion engines too

Modern gasoline is roughly 10-15% ethanol in order to prevent thermal damage to engine parts and to support performance in cold climates.
Do you know of more examples?
I mean people were really making booze and drugs of absolutely everything possible, including famously, rocket fuel.
