  It would be scary, but wouldn't really do anything to the plane. I'm pretty sure everything in a plane is fire resistant. Plus the low air pressure would make the fire burn poorly. Alcohol mixed with water doesn't burn well enough to do much. Maybe if they sell 95% alcohol (Ever Clear). But even so, while it might hurt someone, it would not cause mass casualties. And if you wanted to hurt someone you don't need to go on a plane first.

  Airlines limit the alcohol content allowed in the cabin. Even before all the liquid silliness, you were not allowed to take "strong rum" from the Caribbean in cabin. All your best fuels will not be allowed. (The rum distilleries output something like 160 proof. This is diluted with water and aged to the rum most people know, which is legal for export. Locals however, can bring containers to the distillery and have them filled directly from the still.)
