Adding ethanol should change it to abrown solution. If adding ethanol can not change the solution to brown, then its environment is already acidic and will not reduce. When potassium permanganate reacts with ethanol, it releases nascent oxygen. ie, an atom of oxygen thus converting the ethanol to acetic acid.
