According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flamb%C3%A9 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flamb%C3%A9 , even a 40% ethanol solution is ignitable.
"Cognac, rum, or other flavorful liquors that are about 40% alcohol (80 USA proof) are considered ideal for flambé. ... High-alcohol liquors, such as Bacardi 151 or Everclear, are highly flammable and considered too dangerous by professional cooks."
The recommendation from the FDA seems to be that hand sanitizer needs to be at least 60% alcohol.
