Try Crest Pro Health Mouthewash. My dentist reccommended that I switch to this because it contains no alcohol. It works great without the burn of Listerine or Scope.

THERE ARE MOUTHWASHES W/O ALCOHOL AVAILABLE. DECADES OF RINSING WITH AN ALCOHOL RINSE CAN CAUSE DELETERIOUS CHANGES TO THE CELL-STRUCTURE OF THE ORAL EPITHELIUM.
