If any solvent used in UV spectroscopy has absorption in the analytical UV range of 190nm-400nm, it will create an interface with the analyte absorption. In simple words, an ideal solvent should not have any absorbance in UV region.
Coming back to ethanol, ethanol has a UV cut-off around 205nm. Many analytes or drugs are usually analysed above 210nm. This makes ethanol a suitable solvent of choice for UV spectroscopy
