In Dec. 2019-January 2020 a pneumonia illness originating in Wuhan, China designated as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was shown to be caused by a novel RNA coronavirus designated as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). People with advanced age, male sex, and/or underlying health conditions (obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, and chronic lung disease) are especially vulnerable to severe COVID-19 symptoms and death. These risk factors impact the immune system and are also associated with poor health, chronic illness, and shortened longevity. However, a large percent of patients without these known risk factors also develop severe COVID-19 disease including death. Thus, new risk factors that promote exaggerated inflammatory and immune response to the SARS-CoV-2 virus leading to death must exist. One such risk factor may be alcohol misuse and alcohol use disorder (AUD) because these can exacerbate viral lung infections like SARS and flu and pneumonia. Thus, it is highly plausible that alcohol misuse would be a risk factor for either increased infection rate when individuals are exposed to SARS-CoV-2 virus and/or a risk factor for more severe COVID-19 in infected patients. Alcohol use is a well-known risk factor for lung diseases and ARDS in SARS patients. We propose alcohol has several key pathogenic elements in common with other COVID-19 severity risk factors. These three key elements are inflammatory microbiota dysbiosis, leaky gut and systemic activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. We also propose these three elements represent targets for therapy for severe COVID-19.
