Not a good defense. Blood alcohol content is what alcohol is in your blood stream, not what's in your mouth. Even if the breathalyser is confused by the mouthwash, they can just do a blood test.
It depends on what kind of mouthwash it is. Non-alcohol? Or alcohol? Non-alcohol does expire. Mouthwash with alcohol in it expires too. I have Listerine and it has an expiration date on it, and it does contain alcohol.
Mouthwash contain more alcohol than wine. It contain 6.6% to 26.9% alcohol. A detail content of alcohol in mouthwash are as below: Listerine 26.9% Scope 18.9% Signal 14.5% Cepacol 14.0% Listermint 6.6%
Alcohol free mouthwash is better for children as it doesn't make them feel unwell but an adult is used to that but alcohol free is the way to go!
To anyone who is interested: I have just completed a research investigation into mouthwash, and it's inhibitory effect on bacteria. One of the findings was that the alcohol-free mouthwash actually repeatedly had a greater inhibition zone than the mouthwashes containing alcohol. This study is in no way conclusive, but I figured it was better than no answer :]
The EtG urine test can detect the use of mouthwash containing alcohol, hand sanitizers containing alcohol, food cooked with alcohol, and many other alcohols in the absence of drinking alcohol.And it an do so for days after contact with any alcohol.
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.
only if the mouthwash had alcohol in it and you need to use it just minutes before the test.
Yes, mouthwash can evaporate over time due to its alcohol content. When the mouthwash is left exposed or the cap is not tightly closed, the alcohol can gradually evaporate, leading to a decrease in volume and potentially altering its effectiveness.
Mouth alcohol takes around 20 minutes to disperse.
well it depends what kind or mouthwash. if it contains alchahol then probably yes. it may also contain Formaldehyde which is also combustable. so to answer your question more simply, yes, unless you have some kind of REALLY weird mouthwash, and even then, the answer is most likely still yes.
Deodorant or hairspray typically do not contain alcohol in amounts significant enough to cause a false positive on an alcohol blood test. However, using an alcohol-based mouthwash shortly before a test could potentially lead to a false positive due to the alcohol content.
