Alchohol fueled industrial revolution

In theory, would an industrial revolution driven exclusively by alcohol fueled internal and external combustion engines in the early 1800s be practical? What effect would this have on the development of modern society?

This would take place in a society that hadn't discovered fossil fuels yet.In an early 1800s Earth. Alchohol fuel also refers to ethanol or methanol.

If alcohol combustion engines (internal (the ones on most cars) or external (which are boiler type systems, or Stirling engines) combustion engines) aren't practical, then what type of alcohol-fueled propulsion would we see to drive the industry forward?
