Fair enough, seems a handy enough trick.

In that case, I'd probably carry around a super soaker water gun loaded with some strong alcohol, and just hope I'd be able to shoot it at a distance before it gets close enough to wrap around me.

Could also in a pinch light the alcohol on fire as a crude flamethrower, packing a double punch...
