No it won't: All it will do is dry out and/or irritate the skin. Don't get your medical information from friends, tv or the internet.

Alopecia: Alcohol will not cure alopecia. Alopecia is hair loss. Alopecia can be caused by: infections, medications, stress, genetics, thyroid disease, anemia and others. See your dermatologist to find the cause of your alopecia then it can be easily treated.
