If we use alcohol as disinfectant, why drinking it doesnt solve throat infection / sore throat?
In: 5842
In addition to all of the other reasons listed:
Because often the “sore” part of your throat is the trachea (windpipe), not the esophagus (food pipe).
Air goes down one tube, fluids (and solids) go down the other. If the trachea is infected, anything you drink isn’t going to even touch the inflamed tissue, much less disinfect it.
