Can alcohol inactivate the hepatitis c virus?

By drinking?: Not sure what you are asking. In the laboratory, addition of alcohol to hep c cell cultures may inactivate the virus, but alcohol in your system will not prevent the transmission of hep c.

No: Not by drinking alcohol. Drinking may only help to cause damage to your liver.
