Of course. I don't want my mouth burning for the next hour.

Listerine - when you absolutely, positively, MUST kill everything in your mouth.

one time I accidentally swallowed a whole bunch of it, I was running late for work and swishing it around in my mouth, I tried to throw it up but I couldn't get myself to do it, it was horrible, think I swallowed it down the wrong pipe too.

No. My dentist also recommends that you don't rinse after mouthwash either.

I never do. Why not let it in there with all its germ killing goodness?

If you use it for the amount of time described on the label, everything that is going to die is already dead. Swallowing the residue offers no benefits.
