Ethanol only provides very slight improvement in viscosity over antifreeze (at -20c) so it'd be better just to use antifreeze over ethanol since it won't stink up the place.

Also the only thing harmful about acetone is the vapors, which cause dizziness, headach or nausea. In other words you'll feel ill but you'll be fine. This has a great advantage because you'll feel ill if your in danger of igniting vapors. Acetone is actually safer (biologically) than antifreeze, so if you have no problem with getting antifreeze on you then you shouldn't with acetone either.

Also When diluted with water to a 30% concentration becomes much less flammable.
