I'm not sure what this is trying to say... Yes, alcohol kills bacteria. This is known. If you got caught in a flash flood of it, like these bacteria are, you'd die, too. It kinda feels like it's trying to tell you alcohol is bad, but it's using disingenuous arguments.

I took the opposite argument from it. If I'm ill, I just need more whiskey.

It was a good message or bit of info for me, as I had always been skeptical of using liquor as an antibacterial helper in wounds like you see in movies. (I thought maybe the proof was too low or something) but this shows me it’s definitely better than nothing.

Yeah, just maybe aim for Navy Poof or Cask Strength. Try to get over 60%.
