as long as the alcohol is a high dosage it should kill all the bacteria
Alcohol can penetrate the bacterial cell membrane and disrupts the membrane structure, leading to leakage of cell contents and ultimately cell death. This disruption of the cell membrane interferes with the bacteria's ability to function and survive.
No, it's chemically a Bacteria
Isopropyl alcohol (isopropanol), the alcohol found in rubbing alcohol, is slightly better at killing bacteria than ethyl alcohol for E. coli and the bacteria in MRSA. Methyl alcohol, or methanol, is the weakest medical alcohol in terms of killing bacteria.

poorly worded questions don't get answered often. but yes alcohol kills bacteria as long as the alcohol is strong enough 40% or higher if that's the question ^ ^ The guy above doesn't know biochemistry. The question wasn't poorly worded, instead, he's poorly educated. Still waiting for the answer myself. If I can find out, I'll come back and edit this answer. Kids, you don't answer the question if you have no idea what the person is talking about. It's annoying when you're already frustrated trying to find the answer.
Yes, alcohol can effectively kill E. coli bacteria.

Alcohol consists of several elements- oxygen, hydrogen and carbon that are chemically combined to form a compound.
