Why don't more people use alcohol to sterilize their food?

We all know alcohol sterilizes shit, it's why we use hand sanitizer and rubbing alcohol. So why don't more people use it to keep themselves from getting sick?

>Be me
>News always talking about listeria outbreaks from salad bags
>Don't make a lot of money so I don't throw things out until I'm certain they're expired
>Whenever I buy a bag of lettuce, I lightly rinse it with vodka and water
>If I ever eat anything I'm worried might be expired or undercooked, I have a single shot with my meal, kills the bacteria
>If I ate something and start to feel sick, just sterilize my stomach with a swig
>Haven't had food poisoning in years
>Haven't puked in years
>Haven't gotten drunk in years
>I basically only do this when I feel sick or want to be sure, like once a month at most, so I'm not an alcoholic

You can't get sick if the bacteria can't survive in your stomach.
Obviously if you drink a shitload you're gonna poison yourself but one shot to sterilize your stomach once in a long while is fine.

Pepto-bismol, antacids, all the typical stomach meds rarely do shit and they're overpriced as fuck. Unless you're an alcoholic, pregnant, or can't drink for some other reason, you can get cheap booze for as low as like $10, maybe less depending on the state.
A shot is what, 50ml? That's 15 uses in a 750ml bottle. And if you're feeling sick on the go you can just buy those cheap $1 airplane bottles anywhere, liquor stores are usually open later than pharmacies and you don't have to buy a $8 bottle of pills that don't do shit anyway.

I told a bar they undercharged by a vast amount. They came back with an even lower one.
