if i drink alcohol would i kill the Coronavirus if i have it?

W.H.O says that rubbing alcohol kills the Coronavirus in 30 seconds so if i had the Coronavirus all i have to do is drink a beer right?

No.
Rubbing alcohol is isopropyl alcohol.
Beer contains ethanol alcohol.  And beer doesn't contain enough of it to kill much of anything.

One is  Methanol and the other is  Ethanol. Alcohol isnt  just  Alcohol?? one  will help  you  kill a virus  on  your  skin  and the other  helps  you  to  get  pissed?

Even if you're trying to be funny, you ARE aware that if you've contracted the virus it's not in your stomach, right? So even if beer killed COVID-19, it would have no effect on it in your body, because beer goes to your stomach, liver, and bladder. The virus will be in your nasal passages, sinuses, and eventually your lungs. Perhaps you could inhale the beer.

As is the same as if there is no virus, moderation is the key. If you overdo it then your immune system will be down, then if the virus comes at you when you are like that it can only mean bad news.

Beer is only 5-10% alcohol, rubbing alcohol is usually around 90%, which causes permanent blindness if not death. Remember that bit about not letting the cure be worse than the problem?
