Yea, but you have to drink A LOT, and you would get very sick first.

no but you can fail a breathalyser from it. There were a couple incidents when teens were pulled over and failed the breathalyser after rinsing with Mouthwash. If you're a parent or something, you're worrying way too much. The alcohol content is almost nothing in Mouthwash.

no just go get beer

Not that I know of but my friend had failed the breath test and got a DUI right after they use some mouth wash.

yeah actually you can, but that is also why there is a warning label and an age limit.
It's common for bums to drink Mouthwash for a buzz, it is really bad for your stomach however. Some elementary schools now are actually banning teachers from having hand sanitizer, because kids can get drunk off of that as well.
Hmm, if they're just looking for a cheap buzz, mad-dog is cheaper ;p

no, many kids talk about it and some have tried it. you are going to throw up before you get drunk! the alcohol % is soo low that it is not even worth it! it is like people saying you can get high if you smoke a pound of banana peels.... why bother?


Bill Blanks
yes, you can can get drunk off Mouthwash. You can also die from drinking it. They contain 6-27% alcohol.

Not unless the mouth wash contains Alcohol and unless you drank the whole bottle. Even then the substainces in the Mouthwash would kill you before you got drunk. (Although some how some patients don't die.) Listerine contains 26.9 % alcohol.

You have to drink A LOT of it...but yes, its very possible. It's harmless in small doses, and besides...the kids aren't DRINKING it..they spit it out after.

Homeless people use it, aftershave, and even shoe polish to get drunk

Yes you could get drunk of the alcohol in the Mouthwash, however, since the alc is mixed in with these other chemicals, you would throw up before that would ever be remotely possible. Thereby defeating the purpose of trying to get drunk on Mouthwash.

You'd get seriously ill before getting drunk on Mouthwash. Bad idea.


Drunk Turkey
you can get really sick....

Yes, it is possible - however - you would have to drink ALOT of it in order to do this and it would probably rip your stomach apart and damage your gums in the process. It's not meant to be swallowed, so it is not compatible with acids in your stomach. It's a bad idea to try it.

the only problem with getting drunk off Mouthwash is that you have to drink a beer to cover up the smell


tkquestion
Yes, you can. Some Mouthwash has very high concentration of alcohol. I have seen as much as 27%. These are not drinkable kind of alcohol but nevertheles, you will get drunk if you drink enough of it.

Many mouthwashes in the product now are alcohol free.


Nini
It will make you sick so do not try!!!

Yeah! There was an episode of Intervention where the lady was hooked on it. She was would buy it by the case.

EDIT:
Wow! Why would I get a thumbs down for stating the facts? People are stupid.

well even cough medicine has alcohol--so does Vanilla
Nyquil

You'd have to drink an awful lot to get drunk...likely it'd make you sick before you could ever GET drunk!


batontwirler4life35
it could be possible if you drank a large amount of it


Miranda ! :D
no.
the alcohol amount in Mouthwash is so small, you'd probably have to drink several bottles...if you could go without getting sick first.

you'd have to drink a LOT. you'd drink so much, you'd probably throw up before you're even considered drunk.
