Being a physicist, I don't do this particular demo, but from the
description it sounds like the alcohol was in an open container, and maybe
also too close to the flame.
I wonder if anyone, either the instructor or the students, would have been
wearing safety glasses?

Many of us do the same flame test. Anyone have an idea as to what went
wrong? Was he using an alcohol burner or was the alcohol in an open
conainer?
