I just bought ACT Restoring mouthwash and realized it has alcohol. Is it safe to use or should I only use mouthwash w/o alcohol?

I use Act Total Care, it was recommended by the ortho. It has flouride, and hardens the enamel. I like it so far, I have only had my braces for 5 weeks.
I do use Listerine mouthwash after lunch at work, so far no issues with that either.

I now use Colgate Plax (Sensitive) as it doesn't contain alcohol. =)

I actually PREFER the ones with alcohol during braces because I feel it washes cleaner. the dyes in the ones without alcohol can stick to ceramic brackets. the first time i used crest prohealth no alcohol i had a bright blue mouth and almsot FREAKED out. i scrubbed it off, but wont be using again.
