There is a way. Just mix it with equal parts hard liquor.
I heard bleach works good too.
That sounds like a fun night
So you get a liquid that'd roughly 20% alcohol and mostly milk?
Yeah that's not gonna do it.
Try this:
Even if you do 95% everclear (which we don't even have in the EU, we'd fucking kill ourselves with that shit), you'd still only get 47.5% alcohol with the rest being milk, which is not enough to sterilise it.
Like above 42% will kill a lot of stuff in it, but it's not enough to sterilise it.
OK, but pasteurization doesn't sterilize it either. And if you can't get everclear, you probably can't get raw milk. And, OP was making a joke...
Sure man, but I'm a pedant with a shit sense of humour and I like to point out myths that may or may not be actually relevant if it "came down to it." And unlike in the movies where you just spray some whisky on a wound, alcohol isn't a magical get-rid-of-all-chance-of-infection when it's in levels of like <50%.
A lot of people take humor as fact, either by not understanding it as satire or by thinking it's funny because it's true etc. So while a bit of a party pooper, I don't think some light correction is all that harmful.
Very kind of you.
I recall they were telling us it needed to be pretty much exactly 70% to sanitise hands during COVID
Man, a shot of Vodka at 40% has me questioning my life choices, I cannot imagine taking a shot of this goddamn paint thinner holy shit
It would suck the water out of your mouth :)
Yeah, that's why you mix it with raw milk.
