Because of all that ethanol, when you swish the Listerine around in your mouth it burns like nothing you've ever tasted before! It's like blue liquid fire that supposedly kills all the bad bacteria in your mouth that cause gum disease and gingivitis.

Somehow the burning is rather satisfying.

Did anyone ever wonder what happens if you swallow large amounts of Listerine? Like if you ran out of alcohol for your drinking game, could you use Listerine instead? I have a feeling that you can.

Next time I'll bring a bottle of Listerine to a drinking game.
