Reply to Why does alcohol kill bacteria, but not the cells that our bodies are composed of? by Chairman_Mittens
It does... but your skin has a layer of DEAD skin cells that act as a protective layer. However, as others have said, >90%/vol alcohol would give you chemical burns in your mouth.
Some bacteria and some other unicellular organisms can survive high concentrations of alcohol.

>But I guarantee you, if you somehow exposed every cell in your body at once to a high concentration of 99% ethanol, you would not survive it either.
It takes much less than that to die of alcohol poisoning. Blood Alcohol Content of 0.40% is more than enough
