E85 and alcoholics?

Hey all! My dad is a recovering alcoholic so I was doing aimless research (like I always do) and came upon a story about an alcoholic drinking hand sanitizer to satisfy his cravings. Apparently, hand sanitizer comes in isopropyl and ethel alcohol forms, the latter being the one alcoholics crave. Turns out, ethyl alcohol is also called ETHANOL!

So I'm wondering, should I not go to E85 when I go catless so my dad doesn't relapse when he visits me and I start the car up? My theory is that the fumes or the presence of E85 can trigger his addiction again. I hope someone more educated in this kind of thing will disprove my somewhat outlandish-yet-understandable theory as I really want to run E85 and have my dad ride in the car. Thanks!
