I saw on Mythbusters where they made Vodka Mouthwash (and foot soak)...both worked well. Definitely don't swish and drive, but if you're legal, it's a pretty effective way to freshen up.

No that will not kill the germs and bacteria in your mouth that normal mouthwash kills. Besides you will smell like an alcoholic and if you go to school or work smelling of alcohol you could get in trouble.

Whiskey might make you sick. Why would you won't to do this unless you are a massive drinker regular mouthwash is cheaper.

I think thats more of an old-time practice. Technically, it makes sense because the alcohol would seem to kill the bacteria but other than that I'm not really sure

Vodka does cleanse the palate. Of course, alcohol causes mouth cancer. haha

no there are carbs in alcohol. the bacteria in your mouth loves that stuff it feeds them and allows them to spew their acid on your teeth causing dental caries.
