Woman Sentenced For Driving While Under The Influence Of Listerine

Woman Who Got DUI For Drinking Listerine Sentenced

Posted: 8:09 am EST February 16, 2005

Adrian, Mich. -- A Michigan woman who drank three glasses of Listerine mouthwash will serve two years probation -- after pleading guilty to drunken driving.

Police suspected 50-year-old Carol Ries was intoxicated after she rear-ended another vehicle at a red light last month. Officers then found a Listerine bottle in her car.

She passed one breath test, but failed another -- which showed a blood-alcohol level of .30, more than three times the legal limit for driving in Michigan.

According to the maker of Listerine, the original-formula contains nearly 27 percent alcohol, more than four times that of many beers.

Wow a new way of getting drunk! Who would have thought...talk about a cheap way of getting plastered! Listerine shots,



ETA: Sure enough, I just checked my bottle of mouthwash and it is 21.6% alcohol. Of course I think DRINKING Listerine would make me puke.

I'll say, it's way too strong to drink (for me at least).

I can hardly stand using Listerine as a mouthwash let alone drinking it!

I hate having Listerine in my mouth and then spitting it out. I can't even imagine drinking it.

The thought of drinking Listerine is making my stomach do funny things. I wonder why she opted to do that instead of getting drunk the normal, better tasting way.
