    It could lower your immunity

    "an" alcoholic

    You will get the virus if you come into contact with the virus. Not because you are an alcoholic. It won't help you recover if you are an alcoholic, but you can't get the virus just by BEING an alcoholic.

    If your immune system is weak you have a higher chance of getting it. But you don't get it because you're drunk.

    You might get the virus, but it'll be a really happy virus if you get it.

    I'm not an alcoholic.  Alcoholics go to meetings.

    If you are drinking 6 liters daily you will likely NOT get the virus as your blood is entirely cider.

    You can. Higher than normal BAC might slow the virus if it gets into the bloodstream but the virus affects many more systems than just the bloodstream.

    hard to say really

    Yes, you will probably be more vulnerable than someone who drinks less alcohol. The blood alcohol is very low compared to the level which could destroy the virus, which would only be effective with almost pure alcohol. I'm sorry if this sounds brutal.

    Alcohol gives no protection at all. If it did we would be prescribed it.
