What are the effects of drinking mouthwash?

Answer:
Depends how much, but it can make you very ill. It is possible to get drunk, if you drink a lot of it, but do not try it! If you drink excessive amounts, it is extremely bad for your health because it has a toxin called ethanol. It can lead to all sorts of problems and diseases. Stomach ulcers and things much worse.


-Okay people are being ridiculous about this question. Ethanol is the alcohol in all normal alcoholic beverages. Its not the "bad" isopropyl alcohol that can make you go blind. There is no good explanation i have found of why drinking it is bad other than one of the active ingredients makes your brain swell like aspirin would, so this is one danger. Other than that its like drinking a pretty alcoholic drink about as strong as pepermint schnaps, it would not take the whole bottle to get you drunk more like 1/4 -> 1/2 of the bottle so the fact that coma's slurred speech vomiting diarrhea and coma's are possible only make sense for these are the normal affects of over drinking alcohol. People seriously need to stop talking about things they have no idea about.
