Swallowing A Bit of Listerine?!
Question: I have a sore throat, and whenever I put Listerine on it, it feels better. When I swallow it, it completely gets rid of more sore throat. I guess regular gargling can't reach all those areas.
So is it safe to swallow about an ounce a day until I get better? I'm 19 so my body can handle the alcohol if that's the only concern.

Relax it's not like your doing it on a regular basis just an occassional sore throat, I've been doing that for about 10 years. No Worries!! It is not that harmful when taken in moderation. Anybody that uses mouthwash and gargles is bound to swallow some.
an ounce does not sound healthy, it might do something to your organs, try calling your local doctor
hopefully that helps =]
the alcohol in the listerine is different that the alcohol you drink. the alcohol in the listerine is a cleanser. on the back of the bottle they warn you not to drink it for that reason. try another method of getting rid of your sore throat. swallowing this alcohol is like poisoning your body little by little. it's almost like drinking clorox. =P that's dangerous.
yes, homeless people drink whole bottles of mouthwash to get drunk....but its hard on ur stomach lining, so limit it to the smallest amount possible...
GIRL,I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WERE THINKING,DO YOU READ THE BACK OF THE BOTTLE?IT SAYS (WARNINGS;DO NOT SWALLOW,IF SWALLOWED QUICKLY CONTACT POISON CONTROL.
If it was that harmful,,they wouldn't sell it...don;t listen to those Damn FOOLS...
I think it would be alright...
I'm a carpenter & work outside all day...If those Damn Fools knew what has flew & fell in my mouth in my life time...They would gag....I'm still living....
