Title: I wonder....
Post by: Calandale on January 22, 2008, 09:28:21 PM
I wonder why kids don't buy mouthwash,
to get drunk off.
Title: Re: I wonder....
Post by: renaeden on January 22, 2008, 10:25:19 PM
Then they would smell nice and clean.

Have you drunk mouthwash like this calandale?
Title: Re: I wonder....
Post by: Calandale on January 22, 2008, 10:32:35 PM
A couple shots, at a time.
Cheap stuff. Real cheap.

But, I'm worried about
the other stuff that's in it.
Might make me feel ill.

Still, I like the taste.

Too much other crap in it just use peppermint schnapps as mouth wash it tastes better too

What I don't get are the kids who do the inhalants just the smell of them makes me gag

Well, it's NOT a substitute for schnapps (not that I'd buy that),
but rather for cheap brandy. Still, it's about 1/5th the price, and
doesn't require a trip to the liquor store. More importantly, I have
it around ANYHOW.

I'm sure drug stores tell their clerks not to let kids buy multiple amounts of cough medicine.

Yeah. But no one pays attention to mouthwash.
Plus, it comes in BIG bottles.

At 40 proof, it's a damned good buy.

And it tastes pretty nasty too.

Well then you can get your alcohol on the cheep then :laugh:
Title: Re: I wonder....
Post by: Calandale on January 23, 2008, 07:12:59 PM
Yeah, but I'm worried about whether it's safe.
Title: Re: I wonder....
Post by: Parts on January 23, 2008, 07:25:14 PM
I don't think so in the long run.  Seeing you supposed to spit who knows what other stuff in it will do to you a little now and then probably won't hurt you but by the gallon who knows

Mouthwash has isopropyl not ethanol doesn't it?  That'd make a person pretty sick if they swallowed it, not drunk.
Title: Re: I wonder....
Post by: Parts on January 23, 2008, 07:43:47 PM
I think that depends on the brand
Title: Re: I wonder....
Post by: Rabbit From Hell on January 23, 2008, 07:44:47 PM
Maybe, best be careful not to swig down a bunch of isopropyl alcohol.

I used to work with a photographer who always complained about getting a sore throat from all the talking we did, even yelling at times with groups. He kept a spray bottle of Chloroseptic around and spritzed his throat a lot. I found out later that his bottle was half Chloroseptic and half EverClear.

:D

That's the FIRST thing I checked.
No way in hell they could sell the stuff
if it was isopropyl.

BUT, the reason rubbing alcohol IS,
is so that people can't drink it.

I'm sure drug stores tell their clerks not to let kids buy multiple amounts of cough medicine.

1 bottle of DXM containing cough syrup would get a few kids smashed.

Nutmeg is another one to watch out for. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutmeg#Risks_and_toxicity (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutmeg#Risks_and_toxicity)

Don't understand people drinking cough medicine. I hated it as a kid, especially one called Actifed CC. So I wonder if it tastes heaps better now. Liquid penicillin medicine tastes nice, banana flavoured.
Title: Re: I wonder....
Post by: Calandale on January 24, 2008, 04:29:55 AM
I couldn't stomach much cough syrup.
But, I'd get high off it, when sick.

Ask a chemist then.

Listerine MSDS:

http://householdproducts.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/household/brands?tbl=brands&id=23001001

Listerine's alcohol is denatured, so that it is not taxed as an alcoholic beverage.  Some of the other ingredients can make you pretty sick if you ingest them.
Title: Re: I wonder....
Post by: Callaway on January 24, 2008, 07:15:24 AM
SD Alcohol 40, the alcohol in mouthwashes, is ethanol denatured with Denatonium Benzoate, which is toxic in high enough doses, although it is less toxic than methanol, and is relatively safe as a mouth rinse, unlike methanol, which is absorbed through intact skin and mucous membranes.  Denatonium Benzoate also has a very bitter taste.  I believe that mouthwashes also have an ingredient that is an emetic, that is, an ingredient that induces vomiting, to counter the toxic effects of ingesting it.
Title: Re: I wonder....
Post by: Calandale on January 24, 2008, 11:18:22 AM
Can't believe that they expect you to put
something with traces of benzine in your mouth.
I'm pissed about this. It's not the kind of thing that
will prevent kids from drinking it, put could cause
long term harm.

I've had a full cup at a time, and NEVER felt any ill
effects.
Title: Re: I wonder....
Post by: duncvis on January 24, 2008, 11:53:18 AM
The chemical mentioned is also known as Bitrex, and imparts an incredibly bitter taste even in the ppm range. It seems hard to believe that it could be used in mouthwashes - I cant see it being practical tbh.
Title: Re: I wonder....
Post by: Soph on January 24, 2008, 07:46:50 PM
I don't like mouthwash, it's really strong
I used to like the cough medicine I had when I was a kid. I think it was cough medicine anyway. It was called Tixilix or something

they should make them horrible so you don't want them  :P

I used to eat vitamin C's because they tasted so
good. Not TOO much harm in that, but probably
WAY over what I should have been taking.

And this was as an adult.

some of my chewy vitamins are really nice
i have blackcurrant ones at the moment
but my mum gets pissed off because she leaves them out for me, and i just eat the nice chewy ones and leave the rest :P
Title: Re: I wonder....

I used to suck on the vitamin C's that WEREN'T
chewable. And, I like to eat Rose Hips.  :laugh:

Mine was when I was a kid.  I think that I was about four, but I could open child proof caps, even then.

The worst side effect of a massive vitamin C overdose is diarrhea, and if you take a large dose consistently for a long time, you need to taper it off if you stop.

the thing that's put me off taking a lot of my chewy vitamins is that it says it can have a laxative effect if you take too many

Someone I knew ODed on the penicillin medicine I mentioned. Also had to go to hospital and had his stomach pumped. Can't have been a nice experience, he was only four.

Yeah. They can cause liver damage.
