Actually, longer chain alcohols are much more likely to soften many (if
not most) plastics than shorter chain ones. Differences that people may
see between ethanol and e.g. propanol can be influenced strongly by the
presence of water (rubbing alcohol--30% water, vs. relatively pure grain
alcohol--5% water).
It's a messy business. :)
