I would continue to use the Peridex. Ive used it for years. I mix mine 1/2 peridex and 1/2 water. My ENT is ok with diluting it.

I havent read anything official about the alchol in mouthwashes. I seem to remember a discussion several years ago about this. I think Listerine has more alchol than Peridex. Im not certain, check this with your doc.
