What happens when you swallow Listerine ?!


Question: What happens when you swallow Listerine .?
I know that on the packet it says that you have to spit the Listerine out once you have gargled it, but I was just wondering, what happens if you swallow it .? It is after all an antiseptic, so can it do any harm to your insides .?
Thanks !!!!Health Question & Answer

Basically if you swallowed a bit before you spit it out --- Nothing..
If you are trying to get a buzz, most mouthwash has alcohol and or peroxide as the agent to cleanse and disinfect the mouth --- Again nothing..Health Question & Answer

In large quanitities, sure it can.. It is full of alchohal.. It can make you very sick.. But if you swallowed just a little, I think no damage done.. I mean, if it was toxic, FDA wouldn't allow you to put it in your mouth in the first placeHealth Question & Answer

Yea it kind of burns
if it were really serious check the back of the bottle
some cleaning products(such as toothpaste) say if a lot is consumed, call the poison control centerHealth Question & Answer
