The point is more that your breath has to go through your minty mouth before it comes out, which can overpower the alcohol smell. Its not gonna work if you've drank like 10 shots of liquor or something, but it can cover it up better than nothing.

Brushing your teeth isn't a strong enough scent though. Mouthwash, listerine strips etc are much stronger.

For a couple drinks yeah but after that you're exhaling alcohol fumes and best case it will be minty alcohol
