Alcohol Vs. Peroxide

I was going to do a google battle, but alcohol would definitely win. If anyone knows the chemical symbol of alcohol and hydrogene peroxide (H2O2, I believe) post the google battle.

But honestly, which is better for injuries?
 
Mix them together. It's like having your shampoo and conditioner in one. Well it's not really like that, but I like an all in one shampoo conditioner.
 
Depends on the wound......

some you would use neither, you would use a salene solution.
The problem with hydrogen peroxide is that it kills any infectious cells and all the new cells that are growing to seal the wound. Thus it just takes longer to heal.
 
Bactine works very well, but it is expensive.

Manufactured Peroxide has been made so that it doesn't sting as much as it did 10 years ago.
Alcohol will sting like a mother.
 
Hydrogen Peroxide will F you up quick. last time i did that i woke up 3 days later and could only see out of my periferal vision...nothing in the middle.
 
95% alchol (20% is not as effective) also some bacteria have a catalayse enzyme that will render the peroxide useless. An even match although I think in practice ethanol is a bit better
 
I wouldn't put either on a wound.

Alcohol is useful for cleaning intact skin, but shouldn't be used on wounds - for a start, it stings like mad, and secondly, it can damage the delicate unprotected tissues.

Best thing for a wound is clean water, optionally with a small amount of a mild soap.

Do you not consume some alcohol prior to recieving the red hot iron poker?
Thus, is your answer really not alcohol?
