Let’s say I love Dr Pepper, and I want to make it “spicier” but not add any external flavor, can I add to it some ethanol, the same you use to clean infections and wounds? Of course, In small and calculated proportions ( for example a drink that would contain normally 30% vodka and 70% juice, make it in this case with 12% pure alcohol and 88% juice)?
Because on the Internet I see people saying that yes, you can, and It’s the same as drinking more pure vodka, and others say It’s really harmful and you should never do it and that it contains cancerous substances

If its food grade alcohol then yes. Ethanol is ethanol. However, if you just got this from the drug store, it probably has other chemicals in it that will make you sick if you drink it. food grade ethanol that is used in chemical reactions or food processes is typically bought from a chemical supply company and they usually check your ID when buying.
