Mouthwash imbiber banned from supermarket

A Georgia man was barred from Kroger supermarket after he was found drinking mouthwash while sitting in a patio swing display at the store.

The Athens man, who was not named, was spotted trying to use a knife to crack open a bottle of Kroger brand mouthwash while in the store last week.



Athens-Clarke police said the man told them in slurred speech that he had a “couple of beers” and was not drinking the mouthwash but using the two bottles in his possession for “oral hygiene.”

The man has had previous brushes with the law, including an arrest in November when he brandished a knife at Kroger employees who caught him shoplifting. He was barred from the supermarket for two years.
