When using a mouthwash will it show up on a breathalyzer?

Yes absolutely. Unless a mouthwash specifically says 'no alcohol', most mouthwashes contain a large amount of alcohol. However, the effect of the alcohol in the mouthwash only last for a short time, unlikely to be long enough for a test to prove positive - unless you are actually using the mouthwash in the car.

If alcohol in mouthwash can make you fail a breathalizer or what about a inhailor from asthma?

Alcohol in mouthwash may cause you to fail a breathalyzer test because the residual alcohol remains in your mouth for up to 15 minutes after using. The breathalyzer will pick up this residual alcohol in your breath and not differentiate whether it came from mouthwash or beverages. You should never take a breathalyzer test within 15 minutes of taking mouthwash or an alcoholic beverage in order to let the residual mouth alcohol dissipate.Mouthwash can cause a positive result on an ETG test. Whether or not an asthma medication could do the same thing would depend on whether it contained alcohol, how often it was used, and when the test was give.

No. It would be a rather pointless test then.


Is mouthwash less effective if you rinse your mouth out with water afterwards?

Not by a great deal. The active ingredients in mouthwash (antibacterial agents) are designed to work on oral bacteria during the exposure time which is displayed on the bottle of mouthwash. Typically you rinse for 30 seconds with mouthwash. After this time any oral bacteria that has been killed will be amongst the mouthwash inside your mouth, so to remove as much as possible it's advisable to rinse with water afterwards - the mouthwash has done its job by then. It also helps to prevent staining of your teeth, mouth and tongue by the mouthwash. I do not understand why there is no instruction to rinse with water after using mouthwash, however I would imagine this is personal preference - as there would be no detrimental health effects by 'not' rinsing it away.


Will anything contaminate an etg test when being tested for alcohol usage?

I'm not sure I understand the question, but I'll try and give a complete answer and maybe I'll help. Ethyl glucuronide (EtG) is a urine testing procedure. It is designed to find out if the urine donor has been using ethanol (alcohol) over the past few weeks. It is commonly used as part of a rehabilitation program to help an alcohol abuser to stop using, by verifying that he/she is not relapsing and using alcohol. The only thing that makes EtG elevate is the use of alcohol. It does not test for anything else. There are no substances that "mess up" or interfere with the test.
