High performance vehicles burn alcohol because alcohol can withstand higher cylinder pressures which equates to higher hp in most cases. Alcohol also will keep engine components cooler compared to gasoline.

If you spilled boiling alcohol on yourself would there be any difference in the severity of that burn compared with the burn caused by boiling water?

Yes there would because alcohol is already a chemical plus your burning it at a high velocity. I think we should assume the alcohol is not burning. Even so, the answer is yes, mainly because the alcohol is not as hot as the water, so it has less heat to burn you with. The water burns you more than the alcohol does.
