I have already performed factor analysis of various parameters, but found nothing that is statistically significant. I tested the same method on other equipment, the result was not satisfactory. The peaks are well resolved, the problem is that the variation in ethanol area is so "random".
I don't know what it can be anymore. I don't know much about GC, I'm still learning a lot. Therefore, I count on your understanding and help.

We have already changed several of these parameters, just do not change the column and matrix.
I have the impression that it is something related to the organic composition of ethanol. Maybe adsorption interaction with some component, though, don't understand much about it yet. We didn't change the internal default either. Maybe if we change the internal standard for an alcohol, maybe the sample and the internal standard can suffer the same interference ...
