Nothing, really.The limiting factor on the fire is the supply of oxygen. It just sits there.
I just pour out the excess because it's neater when you recharge the air inside (I usually just blow into it, or maybe insert a straw into the bottle and blow through that). The benefit is that the next time the glass is already warm, so the alcohol vaporizes easier.
You can do this with a wine bottle, I might add.

AwesomeYour comment about the glass. Wing warm second time round reminded me of my dad rolling a nearly empty bottle of metaxa to vapourise it then doing the same thing. Seem to remember it whisteling :-)
