-- First of all, gasoline is one of many highly "toxic" substances, meaning that

it's poisonous. By the time you got halfway through your drink, you would

have other things to worry about, more important than lighting the match.

-- If you didn't swallow some air while you were drinking, then, after burning

your tongue, your esophagus, and your esophageal sphincter on the way

down, and then plopping into the puddle of gasoline in your stomach, the

match would go out.

-- If you did swallow some air while drinking, and had not belched yet before

swallowing the burning match, then there would be quite a poof inside. Depending

on how much air there was above the puddle of gasoline, the poof might blow

out your stomach into the cavity where your lungs are supposed to be, or you

might just experience the loudest, most energetic belch of your life. And the

worst-tasting one.

-- But in any case, you would most likely just vomit the gas out before you

ever had a chance to light the match, and THAT would be the time to be really

worried . . . when you light a match and there's this big pool of warm gasoline

and other flammable stomach contents on the floor in front of you.
