Travellers told drinking alcohol could help them avoid food poisoning during holidays
Richard Conroy, world-leading food scientist and founder of vacation illness compensation firm SickHoliday.com, told The Sun Online: “Whenever you go on holiday abroad, particularly on all-inclusive trips, you run the gauntlet of the restaurants and buffet bars.
“They can often be breeding grounds for food-borne pathogens like salmonella, E.Coli, Listeria, and even Cholera.
“But the good news is that wine, beer, gin and other alcohols have been found to be great at pathogen prevention.”
