New calculations of resistivities of liquid metals, Na, K, Rb, and alloys, Na--K, Na--Rb, K--Rb, were carried out by using a variant of the Kubo formula that explicitly contains the temperature T. The results come closer to the experiment than the previous ones that use the Ziman formula of resistivity.
