Short-term, drinking alcohol does not kill many cells of any kind. If a person drinks moderately, there is little or no cellular damage.

If a person drinks to the level of alcohol poisoning, of course, then there is the potential for all of the cells to die -- not directly from the alcohol, but because of suppression of bodily functions such as respiration, causing death.

Long-term, it is a somewhat different story. Again, the side-effects of alcohol consumption are what cause the damage, but actual physical degeneration of organs and organ systems does occur, causing actual brain damage, cardiovascular problems, liver failure, Diabetes, pancreatic cancer and other systemic failure.

Does alcohol kill your brain cells?

No. Hand sanitizers on your hands just kill pathogens (Pathogens is another word for germs, if you don't know what it means). The pathogens can't evade the alcohol. If they do, they may kill your brain cells. I do not know about other alcohols, but of course, it won't kill your brain cells if it doesn't have to do with killing germs. That was a very good question, anyway.
