“Virus Treatment”
Given the coronavirus's vulnerability to alcohol. What would be the effect of a high blood alcohol content on the virus? Just interested if the percentage is not high enough to have an effect or if the alcohol in the blood is different than normal alcohol.

If the alcohol concentration in a person's blood was high enough to kill the virus, the person would be dead from the alcohol.

No, a high blood alcohol content would not kill the virus. I would not recommend drinking excess alcohol in an attempt to prevent or cure COVID-19. Please also do not attempt to consume disinfectants in order to prevent or cure any illness.
