alcohol n mercury r completely different things
chemically alcohol is a group of organic compounds in which an ethyl group is joined to a -OH group such as the simplest alcohol is methyl alcohol(CH3OH)here CH3 is the ethyl group
mercury on the other hand is an element(Hg) it is a metal-the only liquid metal can see it in the periodic table

the version between alcohol and mercury in a thermometer is their density. considering that mercury and alcohol have diverse densities, at diverse stages of rigidity their heights exchange at diverse expenses. while you're questioning rigidity = density x gravity x top so which you would be able to resolve for the top that mercury and alcohol would be at at diverse pressures. (And rigidity ameliorations with temperature)
