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 displaces the water within the bacteria, then evaporates quickly, leaving the bacteria completely dehydrated and they die.
No. If you heat liquid alcohol enough it will evaporate and you will have alcohol vapor, but its still alcohol. Making it a physical change. If you expose alcohol to a flame and burn it, that will change the alcohol into carbon dioxide and water, then it's a chemical change.
Rubbing alcohol works by desiccation--it dries out any bacteria as it evaporates, thereby killing the bacteria. If it is to work effectively, it must be allowed to dry after application. If a nurse gives you an injection or wipes the rubbing alcohol off before it is dry, they are not using it properly.
it reacts with a chemical substance in the organism called robcrat which when mixed with alcohol can created a deadly virus called regnesium if it is not checked and delt with within 2-7 weeks it can cause a very painful death
The alcohol in drinks like Beer and Wine is a compound of carbon. It is called ethyl alcohol - C2H5OH
as long as the alcohol is a high dosage it should kill all the bacteria
Alcohol can definitely chemically fix the bacteria. This is because the bacteria will likely absorb and use the alcohol it is surrounded by.
No, it's chemically a Bacteria
They can cause infection, which antagonizes the immune system. They can also chemically alter substances in nature, such as aiding in decomposition, or converting sugars to alcohol.
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.

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