Actually I am using one of the "generic" brands of Listerine,
either the Shoprite Brand or Duane Reade brands. I have a bottle of
"Duane Reade Antiseptic Mouthrinse and Gargle Vanilla Mint" in
front of me now. It says on it, "Keep out of reach of children. If
more than is used for rinsing is accidently swallowed, get medical help
or contact a Poison Control Center right away." <br><br>
It is not clear to me if this warning is for children or also for
adults. However, I think that it does imply that swallowing the
amount used for rinsing is not harmful. <br><br>
It also says that it is 21.6% (that's 43.2 proof) alcohol. >:-}

Perhaps I would be better off using a good bourbon as a mouth
rinse. Most bourbons are at least 80 proof and many are even more.
