"There was no hint of fire or explosion.  Was able to fog my hand.  No problem, it felt cool. Ethanol alcohol is used to rapidly cool intake air after a turbocharger compresses and heats the air charge in a turbocharged automobile  engine.    HTH  :)"

An old magician's trick is to burn a scarf or handkerchief and show that it can be burned and yet the cloth remains un-scorched.  The secret is that it was drenched in a water-alcohol mix.  But before anyone decides alcohol is safe, one has to consider that alcohol-fueled race cars and dragsters have a know hazard - the fuel burns so clear, one can be burned by unseen flames.  It's my understanding that the fuel has additives so that flames can be seen.
