No, acid doesn't kill taste buds. Also there is no acid in Listerine but lots of alcohol. You mouth feels a little numb after using Listerine but be assured, you won't be harmed.
You may not know it but you consume lots of acid. Any citrus fruit, oranges, tangerines, lemons etc are loaded with acid. Most soft drinks have carbonic acid in them, that what gives them the fizz. Many other foods are also acidic but all are harmless.
Have you ever had a burning in your throat that some people call indigestion? That's strong stomach acid coming up in your throat causing the burning.
Hope this helps.
