Question:
I don't trust all the oddly named chemicals in mouthwash. Some of them are even proven to cause cancer (sodium benzoate for example). Since I believe alcohol is the main ingredient in mouthwash I assume this would work. Would a clear liquor like vodka effectively work to kill bacteria after brushing your teeth?
Answers:
good golly
i hope so
since i've been drinking it since 12
(and i don't mean noon)
no, they're two different types of alcohol.
Use hydrogen peroxide and equal amounts of water as a mouthwash. It should kill bacteria just as good as Listerine.
NO!! ALcohol can cause bad breath. Most people avoid mouth washes which have alcohol in them.
