    I quit coffee for a month now, only because I'm vain and didn't like the way it stains my teeth, and they're already back white to again.

    I have a theory that if you brush your teeth with rubbing alcohol once a week it kills all the germs, and you'll never have to see a dentist or have gum problems. It's pretty nasty though, and I wonder if there is any sublingual absorption and if I'm poisoning myself, cuz the liver converts isopropanol to acetone, and I know that can't be too good for you.

    that reminds me of this hilarious story this gay florist from Brazil I met in rehab once told.

    you could probably get away with it, but that can't be good for you.

    How I would love to quit coffee, but I love it so...
    Glad your teeth are white again guy...As for brushing your teeth with rubbing alcohol, I have no idea.. Though people bleach their teeth and who knows what's in that stuff..

    I would think your liver wont have much to work with if you don't swallow it.

    My science teacher use to put a drop of flouride in her daughters mouth a day, before they knew what would happen. Now her teeth are fucked severly.

    Dentist may be a bitch but mise well let professionals do the work.

    Rubbing alcohol (isopropyl) is a liver toxin if ingested. Why not just use commercial mouthwash, like Listerine? It contains alcohol (not rubbing alcohol). Or just use vodka instead.

    Vodka mouth wash? Don't know many people who could handle that. I don't think I could.

    I've heard of people using peroxide, but not rubbing alcohol....I don't think it's a good plan. I use an antiseptic mouthwash that kills the germs just fine.

    I suspect 100 proof vodka is too hydrophilic. White Lightning might do though. :)
