It is absolutely FALSE that you should use
"Water and nothing but water to put out an alcohol fire."
Alcohol (ethanol) floats on water, so any burning alcohol (like a gasoline fire) will simply spread if you put water on it.
You can certainly use a BC or ABC fire extinguisher on a small alcohol fire.
Furthermore, ordinary Class B (flammable liquid) extinguishers with foam may not be adequate for an alcohol fire, where it might be adequate for gasoline. This is because ethanol "eats through" many ordinary types of foam and continues burning.
Fire fighters have been becoming more aware and better trained and prepared for ethanol fires, with the specialized foam and tactics, as large containers of ethanol travel our roadways and railroads.

How does fire affect water?
