Potential Danger
The American Journal of Emergency Medicine reported a case in 1997 in which a 14-year-old boy from Danville, Virginia, spilled the contents of the shot glass onto his face while dropping the shot glass into the beer, resulting in “multiple separate sites of superficial partial-thickness burns” about his face and neck. As this could happen with practically any flaming cocktail, it has nothing to do with this specific drink and should be considered a universal potential danger.

Famous quotes containing the words potential and/or danger:
“It can be fairly argued that the highest priority for mankind is to save itself from extinction. However, it can also be argued that a society that neglects its children and robs them of their human potential can extinguish itself without an external enemy.”
—Selma Fraiberg (20th century)
“We do not quite forgive a giver. The hand that feeds us is in some danger of being bitten. We can receive anything from love, for that is a way of receiving it from ourselves; but not from any one who assumes to bestow. We sometimes hate the meat which we eat, because there seems something of degrading dependence in living it.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
