QUESTION:

I seem to remember a recent question on mouthwash but could not find it in
the archives.  My husband wants to know if it is okay to use mouthwash
such as Listerine, Plax, etc. The ingredients lists alcohol but does not
say what kind of alcohol.

ANSWER:

The use of mouthwash like Listerine, Plax, etc. containing alcohol is
permissible for use.  The percentage of alcohol used in medicine, either
evaporates in the preparation, or is industrial type, hence permitted to use.
