Question about starting a fire with alcohol

I'm directing a screenplay where a character starts a fire using strips of fabric dipped in alcohol (plus matches). Is this possible? Is it at all realistic? Can anyone suggest alternatives that might be a bit more realistic? Anything goes, really. Just looking for some ideas.
