Can mercury and alcohol mixed to become a thermometer?
Mercury and alcohol are not the thermometers but the liquids found in the thermometer they have different properties that make them uniqe for example alcohol is safe while mercury is poisonous,alcohol does not expand uniformly but has great expansion while mercury expands uniformly and has low expansion,alcohol is cheap while mercury is expensive,alcohol wets the glass while mercury does not.so alcohol can not combine to form a thermometer simply because they are the liquids found in it and not the thermometer itself.

Would have it be possible to make thermometer if expansion of glass would have been greater than mercury?
Great question to think about ! Seems to me that if the expansion of glass were greater than the expansion of mercury, then you could easily make thermometers. But when you calibrated them, they would turn out different from what we have now, because the warmer temperatures would be marked lower on the glass, and the cooler temperatures would be marked higher on the glass.
