Question about whisky?

Question

well im 16, and ive never swalloded it but ive been having tooth aches and i saw told to swirl it around in my mouth

and i dont see how people actually drink that stuff its harsh.

but i was told that having it in my mouth and not swallowing it is just the same as drinking it (it still gets absorbed into my blood stream)

and now i feel like i did somthing realy bad... is that true?

Answer 1

No, you haven't done anything "bad".  Now, go see the dentist and have your toofer fixed.

Answer 2

Yes, it still gets into your blood stream, but no, you didn't do anything "bad". Alcohol, when used for medicinal purposes (such as your aching tooth) is okay. Just be careful not to do too often, as someone will accuse you of drinking, even if you're not.

Alcohol is a good "fix", but only for a short time. As soon as you can get into a dentist's office, the better. He or she will be able to determine what the problem is and will do what needs to be done to fix it for good.

Tooth aches are the worst. Labor pains are easy, in comparison.

And I totally agree... whiskey is VERY harsh. It's kind of like drinking beer or wine... it's an acquired taste. If you never acquire that taste, you'll be better off. lol

Answer 3

I am a Certified Medical Assistant

No it is not the same thing and no it is not absorbed into the blood stream

Answer 4

It's possible for some alcohol to be absorbed sublingually but not enough to feel any effects at all. Although I wouldnt drive, you'd at least set off a breathalyser (NSW law, no alcohol at all for L plates, dunno about anywhere else).
