Alcohols like ethanol are consisting mostly from hydrogen and carbon(C2H5OH, ethanol formula). And they react with the oxygen in the air. Out of that reason alcohol becomes more filled with water after it is getting burnt(oxygen+2hydrogen+fire reaction=water).

When Ethanol or C2H6O burns oxygen is added and you get CO2 and H2O
C2H6O + 2 O2 -----> 2 CO2 + 6 H2O + Heat + Light
Ethanol + Oxygen = Carbon + Water + Fire
Dioxide
Ethanol burns with a smokeless blue flame that is not always visible in normal light. The only thing you see burning are impurities.

Yes there would because alcohol is already a chemical plus your burning it at a high velocity. I think we should assume the alcohol is not burning.
