Abstract

At the beginning of 2020, a newly emerged virus, now named SARS-CoV-2, began to spread in China. After four months, it has reached all over the globe, infecting more than 2.5 mil-lion people. Currently, there are no proved treatments available. However, in social media, false information about alcohol consumption and its role against the virus is spreading. We described a vic-tim of these false facts, who was present with reduced eyesight due to alcohol drinking. A few days later, he showed symptoms of COVID-19 and, even though received treatment, lost his eyesight partially. Alcohol taking has no preventive or curative effect on COVID-19 and negatively impacts the body and immune system, which, therefore, should not be considered a treatment for COVID-19 disease. © 2021 Bentham Science Publishers.
