Drinking alcohol does not effectively prevent or stop food poisoning. Food poisoning is caused by consuming contaminated food containing harmful bacteria, viruses, parasites, or toxins. Although alcohol has some antimicrobial properties, the concentrations typically consumed in alcoholic beverages are not sufficient to kill the pathogens that cause food poisoning.
Additionally, once symptoms of food poisoning begin, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach cramps, drinking alcohol could potentially worsen dehydration and add additional stress to the body rather than alleviating the condition.
If you suspect you have food poisoning, it is important to stay hydrated by drinking water or an electrolyte solution and to seek medical advice, especially if symptoms are severe or persistent. It's best to rely on proper food handling and hygiene practices to prevent food poisoning rather than hoping for alcohol to mitigate its effects.
