Why can't all engines use ethanol?

Modern engines can run some Ethanol. Modern gasoline engines are now set up to run E10, which is a mixture of 10% ethanol. To use higher percentages like E85, which is 85% Ethanol, engines need appropriate seals, hoses and engine settings (timing, etc.). Vehicles set up to run E85 have been selling for a number of years and are sold as "Flex Fuel" vehicles. Such vehicles have a fuel sensor in the fuel line to monitor the mix of gasoline and ethanol present and adjust the engine appropriately for the fuel being used. Either all gasoline can be used or any mixture of ethanol up to 85% ethanol (E85). Running E85 in a vehicle not set up for this mixture will damage seals and fuel lines.

Can you mix corn whiskey with gasoline to get better mileage?

No. That will make the fuel more liquid than it needs to be and all in all the gasoline will not work and your gas tank will have to be flushed. Ethanol, or basically corn squeezins is detrimental to any and all plastic and rubber part in your fuel system. the alcohol deteriorates the plastic and rubber seals causing leaks that may lead to a fire. thats where E85 comes in, it's diluted with gas so as to make it undrinkable and cars and trucks that can use E85 have specially designed fuel systems to avoid such a problem.
