It works for my mom! After a night at my cousin's, where my cousin was throwing up, my mom felt that "feeling" in her tummy. She rushed home (7 hour drive!) & sipped on apricot brandy all day. She NEVER threw up & NEVER had diarrhea. The alcohol kills the germs & the grape base kills viruses.

Does 70 percent alcohol kill e coli?
AnswerDo you mean, 70% isoprophyl alcohol? If so, yes.AnswerFirst of all, viruses are not 'alive' as such, unlike bacteria. 70% denatured alcohol will reduce the potency of most viruses if left in contact for a few seconds but will not completely 'kill' the virus. Using alcohol washes and hand rubs are beneficial in reducing virus contamination.See http://microbiology.suite101.com/article.cfm/alcohol_based_hand_cleansers for a more complete answer.
Why are lipophilic viruses easier to kill?
Lipophilic viruses require the lipid (fatty) envelope to remain active ("live"*), and the fatty layer can be destroyed by alcohol. Non-lipophilic viruses do not require this fatty envelope, and the protein layer (capsid) is more resistant to alcohol. *Note: viruses are not actually alive, they are only genetic codes with 1 or 2 (lipophilic) protective layers. Biologists call "live" viruses *active* and "dead" viruses *inactive* or *inactivated*.
