This is the only column I have in my GC-MS. I know that it was specially designed for FAME analysis, but I have already used it for other volatiles like aldehydes, ketones and esters and it worked very well. I am not interested in ethanol quantification. I was thinking in stopping TIC at ethanol retention time.

Not likely to work. I suppose you can try temperatures below 40°C, but at some point your stationary phase will start to solidify (GC columns have a minimum temperature as well as a maximum.)

If I remember well, this column works better for fatty acids. For light hydrocarbons, try another column.
