She was sort-of right.But fire-eaters use something which, far as I can tell, burns a little hotter and is easier to keep alight -- so the Sambuca is cold in comparison.
AFAIK the main problem that fire-eaters have is that the fluid is toxic -- the fire isn't much of a problem once you have a vague idea what to do.
