Where do you live. Alcohol is only added to prevent the water from freezing in cold climates. You wouldn't need it if you lived in say, Florida.

I live in utah so in the winter it gets pretty cold so I would probably need it to keep the lines from freezing and cracking.
But does it add any power, theoreticly I would think that it would because of the oxygen molecules in the alchohol, just as in N2O, when seperated from the alchohol would produce more oxygen in the cumbustion chamber when the is atomised, just not as much as nitrous?? Right??

No, it would not create more power. Water injection systems spray a very small mist of water into the air charge to cool it. Alcohol does not cool the air any quicker than the water (which is why people never do 100% alcohol mix). Oxygen concentration has nothing to do with it.
