Mouthwash is Overrated

If you're using Listerine or other such alcohol-based mouthwash in the hopes that you're killing 'germs', please do yourself a favor and stop. Where such products may kill 'germs' on contact, the bacteria recolonize in a heartbeat anyway. Besides, if your mouthwash is alcohol-based, it ultimately dries out your mouth which ironically leads to the bad breath you're perhaps trying to prevent.

    Thanks for the tip Doc! Would've never known that and now I can clear out the medicine cabinet of that oversized bottle.
