You have not said what % alcohol, > what > type, or anything. Specificity is important. Alcohol > is flammable. Of course, most crock-pots (AKA " slow cookers " ) don't use flame at all and never really get very hot! Still, caution is definitely advised when alcohol is involved - this could be a dangerous experiment. As far as flammability goes, there is a cut-off. I believe it's around 50%. Solutions weaker than this (i.e., less than 100 proof) should be safe. I am not confident in the 50% number, by the way... I know it's around there, though! It's possible that if a weaker alcohol solution (say 80 proof?) were used in a slow-cooker type crock-pot, this could be relatively safe.
