most all non distilled alcohols will not burn. They have too much water content to sustain an exothermic reaction. When tossed into the fire, the boiling of the water into steam removes more energy from the fire than the burning of the alchohol. There is a balanced amount, i think it's 25%. That type will simply burn, but not violently. Crank up the alcohol % and the reaction will be more and more violent. Hope this helps.
