Meths (a.k.a methanol or methyl alcohol) can be used for fire poi. Ethanol is more common than methanol, and alcohols in general are commonly used in fire dancing with other chemicals to produce colored flames.

Read the Material Safety Data Sheet prior to using methanol (or any fuel). Inhaling vapors prior to and after combustion of fuels can be hazardous to your health.

Fire Mecca's Safety page is a good source for some MSDSs, include one for methanol.

Methanol, also known as methyl alcohol, can be used as a fuel for fire-based appliances such as camping stoves or small heaters. However, methanol and meths, short for methylated spirits, can be toxic if ingested and can produce harmful fumes when burned in an unventilated area. It is important to follow safety guidelines when using these substances for fire-related purposes.
