Depends: This will depend on the sensitivity of the individual combined with the concentration of the alcohol fumes.  It could be anything from very mild headache, nausea to severe shortness of breath..  The answer is to avoid the exposure or improve ventilation in the area of use if you must.  Severity will dictate which of these you must do.

Question 2

alcohol or non alcohol based mouthwash for bad breath?

Accepted Answer

Either: Both types of mouthwash are going to have agents in them that will kill bacteria that tend to cause bad breath.  If you are aware of halitosis, be sure to brush your tongue well, especially toward the back.  This is a common source for bad breath.  Also be sure to get your teeth cleaned at the dentist if it has been a while.  Mouthwash helps, but often just covers up the real problem.
