ADRIAN, Mich. -- A woman who admitted drinking three glasses of Listerine mouthwash had a blood-alcohol content more than three times the legal limit when she was arrested for drunken driving, police said Friday.

 

The woman, identified by police Sgt. Mike Shadbolt as 50-year-old Carol A. Ries, was arrested Sunday night and released on personal bond the next day. She was to be arraigned late next week on a misdemeanor charge of operating under the influence of liquor, Shadbolt said.

 

Police also found an open bottle of Listerine in Ries' car, and asked Lenawee County prosecutors Friday to authorize a warrant charging her with having an open intoxicant in a motor vehicle, Shadbolt said. Calls to the prosecutor's office were not answered after business hours.

 

Ries showed signs of intoxication after her car rear-ended another vehicle Sunday, Shadbolt said. She told police she had not consumed any alcohol and also passed a Breathalyzer test, but "there was something not quite right about her," Shadbolt said.

 

She failed a second test using different equipment and, under further questioning, admitted to drinking three glasses of Listerine earlier in the day, Shadbolt said.

 

According to Listerine manufacturer Pfizer Inc.'s Web site, original formula Listerine contains 26.9 percent alcohol, more than four times that of many malt liquors. Other varieties contain 21.6 percent alcohol.

 

No telephone listings for a Carol Ries could be found.

You know there are some teenagers who are going to read this and start chugging mouthwash... :headshake

Jeckle, give the kids on this site some credit! I'm sure they've already thought of it.

That was common back when I was in HS. I couldn't understand it then or now. Blech.

 

Back when I was working at the grocery strore, we had people come in that would buy lots of mouthwash and would tell us that it was cheaper than regular alcohol so that is why they drank it. Turned my stomach whenever I heard that.

A while back I read about a city in N.M. they call 'drunk town' because so many of the residents are alcoholics. Anyway, the city is dry on Sundays, so people stock up on Saturdays and then buy like hairspray and rubbing alcohol instead when they run out of booze. :puke

We did shots of Nyquil in High School. Back before they took the booze out of it.

 

Yet I still had to be 21 to buy Non-Alcoholic Beer....

if Ny Quil works without booze, why was there ever any it to begin with?

Cheaper than the depressant they had to put in it to take the alcohol out.

 

They could make Sudafed without the ingredients that can be used in Crystal Meth. (In some states they do) But its cheaper to use the standard formula. Only when law mandates it, will drug companies change a formula.

In order for me to casheir this year at work i had to read this packet about the sudafed and crystal meth stuff and there is a huge list of stuff we cant sell more than 3 different types of to a customer and if we do it is a 500 dollar fine. Luckily the computer will warn us if it is one of the things on the list and we have to make sure we dont sell more than 3 different types

That's interesting, why have a depressant in it at all? The marketing tells you that it relieves cold symptons and so consequently, you are able to sleep better. If it just basically knocks you out, it's not really more of a cold med is it?

Damnit! I wish I would have known about this in high school. I drank so much Zima when I was a Junior in HS.

 

What makes your stomach turn more?

 

Drinking mouthwash or drinking Zima?
