I went throught ALOT of comments…. DO NOT DRINK RUBBING ALCOHOL. There are different types of alcohol, most of them deadly to humans. Regarding drinking something like grain alcohol where it’s 95%+ straight ethanol wouldn’t do anything outside of make you feel tingly and if consumed enough of it, black out drunk…. ah college.

As many people have already said, the throat infection is not surface level and drinking or even gargling alcohol will only do so much. You could get the same effect by gargling salt water or mouthwash.
