If we use alcohol as disinfectant, why drinking it doesnt solve throat infection / sore throat?
In: 5842
When you have a sore throat the infection is already inside, within the tissues of the throat, and therefore isn’t affected by alcohol that only washes the surface. We only use alcohol to disinfect surfaces so that we don’t pick up infections from these surfaces.

Isn’t gargling with antiseptic supposed to do this without drinking it? I am aware that many say it does not help, but I am just trying to respond to OPs question.

The infection is not just on the surfaces of your throat.
But if you drink enough alcohol (and I’m NOT AT ALL recommending that anyone do this) it will make your body less hospitable to bacterial infections. Of course alcohol is an indiscriminate poison and will likely cause more problems than it solves.
