abstract={A 52 year old male with history of alcohol abuse presented to the hospital with metabolic acidosis, he reported consuming a bottle of Listerine for the past two months. On admission he high anion gap and osmolar gap. Given the severe acidosis the patient was started on a bicarbonate drip and also Fomepizole. Later the assays for ethylene glycol and methanol came back negative. Clinicians should have a high index of suspicion for Listerine use and other over the counter products in patients with a history of ethanol abuse, especially when they present with high anion gap and osmolar gap.},
