I just accidentally swallowed a teeny, tiny amount of mouthwash. should i be worried?

Nope. : Even the whole bottle wouldn't necessarily hurt you. But there are better things to drink if you must. Mouthwash like other things used for our oral habits are mostly safe. Just be a little careful.

NO: Mouthwash is sold over the counter and is generally regarded as safe. If you don't want alcohol in your system make sure it is a mouthwash without alcohol.
