I'm not a biologist but how can certain bacteria and viruses be resistant to alcohol?

I barely recall an internet discussion where people were concerned about "super bugs" coming about from using alcohol to disinfect -- "will this not create a resistance in them by using the one tool we know works to kill bacteria" they inquired.

I recall a researcher saying it would be like humans becoming resistant to nuclear explosions. It just simply won't happen and yet here we are.
