A member asked:
Can rinsing your mouth with listerine (not drinking it!) be harmful if you are trying to lower your liver levels?

Very little: Alcohol is absorbed or try non alcohol mouthwash.

Not significant : By rinsing with listerine for 15 to 20 seconds the amount of alcohol absorbed is so little it will not have significant affect on the liver to do any damage.
