I avoid alcohol type mouthwashes; although, I believe the alcohol in mouthwashes is a lot different then regular drinking types of alcohol. Now as spicy foods go, I assume as long as they don't cause sores it's okay. And junk food, fast foods or processed foods...well of course they're no good for you...But like everything in life, if you want to do it then "in moderation" is key. Too much of anything is never good for anyone.
