In theory yes, a gas turbine may burn any liquid fuel. The fuel passes through a pump that requires lubrication by it, alcohol may not provide this, also it may not be compatible with various seals throughout the engine.

Can Gazelle helicopter with Astazou IIIN2 engine use alcohol as fuel?

It would be quite a car engine- the thing makes over 300kW.

Excellent video. The fuel leak was a little concerning. Be safe.
