What happens if you swallow listerine?

Might get sick: Depends on how much. It can be up to 19% alcohol, so not so good. The mix of everything might give you a stomach problem or cause you to vomit ... Or it might do nothing. If you have swallowed a small amount, probably nothing. More, then i would drink lots of water to dilute it . Can't speak from personal experience. Might look at the bottle or check web site.

How much ?: A tiny bit is non-toxic. An entire bottle could be problematic. Call their hotline and speak to a rep who can answer your question in further detail.
