Sorry folks! Alcohol will not kill the virus - in fact it might just kill you quicker!

Maybe it can't, but I've never seen anyone snorting lao khao up their nose or rinsing their eyes with it!

They will soon just to try it if it kills the Wuhan Flu.

Folks ethanol and methanol. You wan't to be consuming the latter.

From what I've read, it requires an alcohol content of 65% or greater to kill the virus. There's a number of spirits available that have that amount of alcohol in them. Since we're told that the virus initially lodges in the throat for a few days before moving down to the lungs, what could it hurt to quaff a toddy of one of these before you go to bed at night?

Just give me a bottle of Bacardi 151 Proof, or better yet some EverClear.  I can spike my water melon with the EverClear.....

yes when you believe that things are run right it does turn out to be a nightmare and alcohol does take the sting away from the view of how things are as they are believed to be versus what they really are....

Don't care, I like it, I'm doing it.

I'm waiting for them to announce having sex with your partner, watching TV or using the internet are all banned.

Sex is allowed, providing you observe the 1 meter distancing. How you manage that is your problem.

Dr Khajornsak Kaewjaras  needs to go back and retake Chemistry.  Ethanol is what is in "alcoholic drinks".  Beer, Gin, Vodka, Bourbon, Scotch etc.

 

My experience is drinking since about 1952 and graduating with a BS in Chemistry from University of Washington in Seattle in 1961.

Gulping down Ethyl Alcohol or Ethanol (95% alcohol) to kill the virus at the back of the throat was also a very silly idea as it could kill you in double quick time

Just gargle and gob it out then ..

I think they should increase the alcohol proof.

Mr Trump thinks a anti-malarial drug is the panacea for Covid 19. Is he right? Just in case, I take a nightly dose of quinine now in numerous gin and tonics.

You're referring to the ones who post the alcohol-kills-it nonsense on social media as clowns, yes?
