The litmus itself is a much stronger acid than the alcohol. Dissociation of the alcohol won't produce enough protons to shift the equilibrium between the two colored forms of the indicator, so you'll see no color change. Alcohol in water solution is not acidic enough to change the solution pH.

Alcohol will not change the colour of litmus solution because it do not have ionizable hydrogen atoms and replaceable hydrogen or hydrosol group to form compare molecule with little. So, it is neutral in nature.
In alcohol, hydroxyl groups are present in their formulae.
