  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. Also, 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 proper, I don’t think some light correction is all that harmful.

        I recall they were telling us it needed to be pretty much exactly 70% to sanitise hands during COVID

    Yeah, that’s why you mix it with raw milk.
