We could easily turn the ethanol into booze, at a higher profit margin than using it for a fuel additive. But doing that would increase the supply of booze on the market and lower the price of it. Such commodities are under the influence of powerful political lobbying.
Apparently increasing the supply of distilled spirits for human consumption is not what the government wants. And government always gets what IT wants through force. Which is why we have the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms...
