by throwing back a couple of margaritas every day, I’m afraid I have bad news: drinking alcohol does not kill germs inside your body. [cue sad trombone]
Chemically-speaking, there are three main types of alcohols: isopropyl, ethyl and methyl. All kill germs by breaking down the cell membrane, which causes the inner components of the cell to dissolve. Most hand sanitizers contain isopropyl or ethyl alcohol. But don’t get the idea that this somehow means it’s OK to drink as much alcohol as you want. Over-consumption of booze can have many toxic effects on your body, including irritating the lining of the gut, overworking your liver , and destroying brain tissue.
