There is no such option. You don't need to specify any kind of water 
model if you're not going to make use of it; the only purpose for that 
argument/selection is for pdb2gmx to know which #include statement to 
write in the .top file. In this case, you have none. You will need to 
construct or obtain a pre-equilibrated box of ethanol for the purpose of 
solvation as well as a topology that you will have to manually #include 
in the system .top file.
