Right. Doesn't help an infection. Probably makes it worse.
But I suspect there's a window of about 30 minutes where the efficacy of alcohol on the hands has a similar effect on the throat.
Make the host as inhospitable as possible and maybe it'll prevent an infection.

So trying to prevent an infection when you're already infected doesn't make any sense. Besides, there's no evidence that gargling with alcohol will prevent an infection either.
