Not a lot at all. Most mouthwashes can be used as gargles as most have a disinfectant or antibacterial solution, But some gargles are medicated and meant just to be gargled and not to be used as a mouthwash. I would say that Listerine would be both a mouthwash and a gargle, but Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) would be a gargle only.

Will the absence of alcohol normally contained in mouthwashes have the same effectiveness of mouthwashes with alcohol?

Alcohol is a drying agent. It was historically added to mouthwashes. However, over the last 20 years, scientists realized a couple things about alcohol content in mouthwashes. First, because it dries the mouth, it can actually contribute to tooth decay, especially if a person already suffers from dry mouth. The reason teeth decay is because there is less saliva to bathe the teeth and remove bacteria. So bacteria can colonizer easier in some people. Second, people with drinking addictions were still getting alcohol that was added to mouthwashes. This undermined their goal of 100% sobriety. For these two primary reasons, companies began manufacturing mouthwashes with no alcohol. Biotene is one such product. It cleanses the mouth, plus adds to saliva so bacteria have less chance to colonize. Biotene is just as effective or perhaps more effective because it does not dry out oral mucosa.
