Oh I regularly self-medicate with alcohol.
Jokes aside, alcohol is useful for disinfecting surfaces OUTSIDE the body, but inside the body is a different story. If you had ethanol or isopropanol levels in your gut high enough to kill bacteria and viruses, germs would be the least of your worries at that point 😉 Also, since even small amounts of alcohol would have unwanted side effects (obviously), using other means for killing bacteria inside the body, such as penicillin, is generally the way to go.
