I have a sore throat now...and I'd like to know if I gargle alcohol would help to kill the bacterias or whatever is hurting me
Answer:yes it does! IVE JUST GOT OVER A VIRUS! AND IGARGLED BRANDY! IT BURNS LIKE HELL AND STINGS A LITTLE BUT IT REALLY DOES WORK!!
Try it!
It probs won't kill all, but after a few you'll not feel your throat
I doubt it, but in for a penny eh ?
Yes it will help, but not all 3 eh?
Probably, but not as well as an antibacterial gargle that you can get at the drugstore. Plus, do you really want to spit it down the sink? What a waste!!
i've actually found that orange juice works best. usually a sore throat is caused by irritation, not bacteria. if you have a runny nose, or your sinuses are draining that will cause the sore throat.
I think if you gargle salt it would be better, then DRINK the brandy , vodka and tequila, why waste good booze?
It will, and it's a great way to avoid using Listerine.
Listerine is my gargle of choice, mainly because it kills bacteria AND and leaves a fresher breath in your mouth.
Also, it won't kill what's hurting you. It will help numb your throat. If it keeps on persisting, see a doctor.
Gargle Listerine instead.
