Surprise: alcohol kills bacteria

Many friends have expressed concern that my homemade aged eggnog may not be the safest brew. Yet my feeling has always been at approximately 60 proof, there is no way that it would prove a hospitable environment for bacteria.

And now there is some backing from science! The good folks at Science Friday spoke with some microbiologists.

Wait a tick...I just watched that video, and does your new recipe include salmonella?

Nope--my version left out the salmonella.
