Ethanol (alcohol) is C2H6O.
Similar to hydrocarbons, such as gasoline, when burned it readily forms Carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) with the oxygen in the air. It has a flash point lower than room temperature.
The ease at which it evaporates is really what allows it to be easily set on fire as the vapor mixes well with oxygen in the air.

unsure what you recommend by "and not any incorrect way around". It does not extremely provide you extra fats - you ignited it, it burned, there might desire to truly be no fats there. Any sugars could have burned off.
