Possible in RealLife, but only with very high proof alcohol (at least 100 proof [[note]]The concept of "proof" came from the Royal Navy's method to test the purity of their rum, a 100-proof spirit means that gunpowder doused in the spirit will still catch fire and burn[[/note]], or 50% ABV). Anything lower will sputter a bit, if not put out the flame. Beer and wine aren't going to do it; you'll need to use something distilled. You'll need a good strong whiskey[[note]]or [[SpellMyNameWithAnS whisky]], which is how Scotch whisky is spelled, and a lot of the really strong stuff is Scotch[[/note]], some fierce vodka, 151-proof rum, absinthe, moonshine, or while not really what one would consider booze, PGA. That's right, pure grain alcohol -- 96% ethanol. For things that aren't technically booze, there's methanol, industrial alcohol or wood spirit. Do not drink this stuff! (And for methanol and alcohol fuels based on it, ''don't even put it in your mouth for this stunt,'' the tissues of the mouth absorb!) Do not breathe it in! Do not get it on your skin! It is nasty! There is also isopropyl, commonly called rubbing alcohol or electronic alcohol[[note]]ethyl alcohol will short your electronics because it absorbs water; isopropyl alcohol, to the contrary, is hydrophobic and completely dielectric, and is therefore the one you're supposed to use to clean your electronics[[/note]]. It is expensive and definitely not for drinking[[note]]If you do so, you'll give yourself quite a bit of digestive discomfort and may even need to have your stomach pumped if you accidentally swallow too much[[/note]], but it burns nicely. Obviously, this is a hazardous stunt [[DontTryThisAtHome best left to practiced performers]].

* In the 1990 action film ''Film/TheRookie'', David Ackerman returns to the bar where he took a severe beating to demand information from the bartender. The bartender tells Ackerman to get lost or he'll take another beating, and Ackerman takes a swig of whiskey and responds with this trope before beating the shit out of everyone in the bar.
