▲== [[Anime and Manga]] ==
* In the ''[[Eat Man]]'' manga, Bolt Crank has the ability to swallow anything and later eject it through his hand. So once he swallowed some industrial alcohol ("200 Proof"), and...
== [[Film]] ==▼
▲== Film ==
* This is how Horny the Clown is beaten in the [[Slasher Film]] ''Drive Thru''; the [[Final Girl]] spits out alcohol she had in her mouth when he shoves lit birthday candles near her face, causing him to catch on fire.
* This is how the Alpha Betas lost their fraternity house in ''[[Revenge of the Nerds]]''. One guy playing around with a mouthful of Everclear & a match set the house ablaze, so the Alphas take over the freshman dorms, forcing the nerds out.
Line 28 ⟶ 26:
* Gangster boss Rory Breaker does this in ''[[Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels]]''. Take Barfly Jack's quote: "Rory gobs out a mouthful of booze covering fatty; he then flicks a flaming match into his bird's nest and the man's lit up like a leaky gas pipe."

* In the [[Discworld]] book ''[[
▲== Literature ==
▲* In the [[Discworld]] book ''[[Discworld/Feet of Clay|Feet of Clay]]'', Nobby Nobbs does this by accident when a [[Spit Take]] after a glass of very, very, very strong brandy combines with a lit cigar. He seizes the opportunity to run as fast as he can, though.
* A human warrior once did this in ''Daughter of the Drow'' ([[Forgotten Realms|Starlight and Shadows]] trilogy) -- not for damage, but to disable an opponent's infravision.
▲== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* One of [[Xena: Warrior Princess|Xena's]] signature moves.
* In the ''[[It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia]]'' episode "The Gang Solves the Gas Crisis," Mac and Charlie show off by doing this with mouthfuls of gasoline. They're not bright, those guys.
Line 41 ⟶ 37:
* ''[[Danger 5]]''. Soviet [[Bottle Fairy]] Battle Babe Ilsa takes a swig from a bottle and squirts it in the face of a fire-breathing lizardman.
== [[Music]] ==▼
▲== Music ==
* [[Taiji Sawada]] did this for real in an infamous pseudo [[Performance Video]] for early [[X Japan]] (then called X), the "Orgasm at YASHIRO noodle shop" video.
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* The drunken master monk prestige class from ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' can preform this feat with alcohol that they have already drank when they are drunk enough.
== [[Video Games]] ==▼
▲== Video Games ==
* Pandaren Brewmasters in ''[[Warcraft 3]]'' have both a "throw booze" and "spit fire" abilities, which can be combined.
* Auron does a variant for Tornado, one of his Overdrives in ''[[Final Fantasy X]]''. What he does is create a huge whirlwind, then throws his whole bottle of sake into it, and the whole thing bursts into flame. Through friction, maybe?
Line 59 ⟶ 52:
* Chin Gentsai of ''[[The King of Fighters]]'' also does this for his [[Limit Break]].
* ''[[Devil Bear]]'' has a scene where Bearalzebub slurps a small pool worth of liquor,
* ''[[Next Town Over]]'' had this done by Hunter, complete with [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner|one-liner]]:▼

▲* ''[[Devil Bear]]'' has a scene where Bearalzebub slurps a small pool worth of liquor, and does [[Finger-Snap Lighter]] before spitting it out.
▲* ''[[Next Town Over]]'' had this done by Hunter, with [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner|one-liner]]
▲{{quote|Seems to me… you weren't too careful readin' the [[Wanted Poster]]<ref>for arson and witchcraft, among the other things</ref>.}}
▲== Web Original ==
* Happens at the end of the Rambo episode of ''[[The Angry Video Game Nerd]]''.
== [[Western Animation]] ==▼
▲== Western Animation ==
* Pictured above, [[Show Within a Show|Monsignor]] [[King of the Hill|Martinez]] does this with communion wine. As pointed out above, this should not be a strong enough alcohol to produce the effect, [[Rule of Cool|but oh well.]]
* In a [[Christmas Episode]] of ''[[Family Guy]]'', an enraged Lois does this to [[Frosty the Snowman]].
Line 75 ⟶ 66:
* Pickles from ''[[The Oblongs]]'' did this, only she just used a lighter and her alcohol-soaked breath. She tells Bob that she's good for welding, but she's too drunk to drive.
== [[Real Life]] ==▼
▲== Real Life ==
* Still a popular performance art today, with carnival fire-eaters, or fire dancers like Patika Starr.
** Performers are more likely to use kerosene or lamp oil, though, because alcohol burns with a pale blue flame that's almost invisible in daylight.
