Why not buy several bottles and find out? Science would really benefit from such an experiment.

Mouthwash does contain a large volume of alcohol content in it, often more than 25%. But it's not the same type of alcohol that you would find in a beer or a shot of gin. Those types of alcoholic drinks contain ethanol alcohol, and while this is the same type found in mouthwash, it's made into denatured alcohol in order to pass U.S. regulations. The FDA knows that underage people would constantly abuse mouthwash if the alcohol was similar to the kind found in beer, so they require the makers of the mouthwash to convert the ethanol into denatured alcohol so it becomes undrinkable. In order to do this, extra ingredients are added, which can often make the alcohol either poisonous, or at the very least, make the taste of it very unpleasing so it can't be extracted and made into normal alcoholic drinks. One common chemical used to make denatured alcohol is methanol, which can cause people to go blind if they ingest it, since it has a very high toxicity level. Mouthwashes may contain denatured alcohol that was made with methanol, or a number of other ingredients. The companies that make mouthwashes don't reveal how exactly they process their ethanol or what ingredient they use to convert it, so it's anybody's guess as to whether each specific brand is poisonous or not. Since it's not intended for drinking, this is perfectly legal, just like hair spray, gasoline, and bleach are perfectly legal as long as they aren't intended for drinking. Both of which can easily kill you if you drink them. During prohibition, when alcohol was made illegal, many people were drinking denatured alcohol, and more than 10,000 people died from consuming it in a 5 year time period during those times.

Methanol is highly toxic, as it is metabolized to formic acid and formaldehyde. The FDA does not allow NBE products for human consumption to have any methanol beyond safe consumption levels. All distilled ethanol has minute traces of methanol. The FDA requires that all ingredients be clearly labeled in legible text on any product intended for human consumption. So by reading the label on a Listerine bottle, its very clear that methanol is not used in any part of manufacturing. That being said, mouthwash is denatured with SD alcohol 38-b, which is designed to discourage drinking by taste or nausea but has a very low toxicity.

On one intervention a woman drank mouthwash because she couldn't get alcohol. She would chug it. It was terrible because she was a Surburban housewife.

Yes, It is for human consumption. Along with toothpaste, hairspray, shaving cream and so on.
All products intended for human consumption are inspected and regulated by the FDA.
