Is it safe to drink mouthwash?

If there are no liquor stores open on a Sunday, is it OK to drink Listerine Mouthwash? People drink it all the time who are alcoholics. Most of the time, I don't think it kills the person unless they drink like two bottles of it.



Ahh... it is in fact "safe" to drink in that it won't kill you, you're right. And its around 52 proof, so that's pretty strong.





But it's not supposed to be drank. You could get sick. But it won't kill you. I guess if you're an alcoholic and the stores are closed, go for it...




The main ingredients in mouthwash turn to formaldehyde at body temperature...in other words...if you drink mouthwash, you are pickling yourself.





The body does not flush out formaldehyde, so once it's there, it's there for life--or death...




The alcohol in mouthwash is methanol. The alcohol found in alcoholic beverages is ehtanol. Drinking mouthwash will not get you drunk and drinking large amounts of mouthwash can cause severe damage you the lining of your stomach




Listerine is not made to ingest, so I would not recommend it. It would most likely cause stomach upset. If someone is that desperate to get a buzz on, then it's a sad, sad thing.




Knock yourself out!





Mix some rubbing alcohol with it while you are at it!





>"I don't think it kills the person unless they drink like two bottles of it."





Wasn't this a line from Bevis & Butthead?




It is probably not safe to drink it, because some of them contains a lot amount of it.




Why not just drink vanilla instead?




Sorry but I thought that I was a bad alcoholic. That is just sad.




um it gets you super high but if you are ok with it then it doesnt matter




No dont do that, just buy beer.




no

  1. Yes, mouthwash is perfectly safe to drink. In fact, many doctors now say that mouthwash is actually preferable to water. Drink up!
