Friend,

In your body, no. Alcohol will blunt your immune function and may increase your risk of developing pneumonia. Alcohol consumption is a major factor in alcoholics having an extremely high rate of developing pneumonia.

On inanimate surfaces whiskey might kill some viruses, but I wouldn’t prefer it over regular cleaners.

Yours,

True but not because of the dampened immune response. Heavy alcohol consumption impairs the gag reflex so many alcoholics reflux and aspirate gastric and salivary contents into their lungs, causing an aspiration pneumonia
