To be fair, it isn’t the alcohol killing the bacteria, it is the other antibacterial agents doing it.
The alcohol in these mouthwashes is not enough to kill germs. It’s really only there to make you think it’s doing something.
The mouthwash in this study was Listerine, which has other germ killing substances.
Listerine used to make a mouthwash called Strong Teeth. Tasted great.
They discontinued it late last year.
