* as a wood-sanding aid,
* as an antiseptic for minor cuts and wounds, to clean skin before inserting hypodermic needles before donating blood or before injecting insulin or other fluids, and in hand sanitizers
* as a solvent for some kinds of paint and perfume
* as a feedstock for making many other useful substances such as vinegar
The Model T Ford automobile ran on ethanol until 1908, and later the German V-2 rocket used ethanol as a fuel during WWII.
