Yes, mouthwash can be detected as alcohol because many formulations contain ethanol, which is a type of alcohol. If consumed in large quantities, mouthwash can lead to a positive alcohol test. However, typical use of mouthwash is unlikely to result in significant alcohol levels in the bloodstream that would show up on a breathalyzer or other alcohol testing methods. It's important to use mouthwash as directed to avoid any unintended consequences.

Yes absolutely. Unless a mouthwash specifically says 'no alcohol', most mouthwashes contain a large amount of alcohol.
