Scope specifically contains Denatured Alcohol which they will say is added for its "anti microbial properties" but in reality it is added to get around having to pay the additional taxes on the sale of alcoholic beverages. Scope contains this type of alcohol so by law it is not considered an "alcoholic beverage". (Scope-Mouthwash.com | FAQs)

"Denatured alcohol is ethanol to which poisonous and foul-tasting chamicals
have been added to make it unfit for drinking. There is more than one
recipe for denaturing alcohol; some add methanol or isopropanol, some
gasoline, and so on." http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/chem00/chem00102.htm
Blindness and organ failure are the "in the long run" problems with drinking this type of alcohol and if one is at the point in their alcoholism that they are drinking Scope or other NBEs (non beverage ethanols) the problems in the short, mid, and long term are multiplied due to the extended progression of the disease of alcoholism and its effect on their whole life. Most likely there are at the very least moderate troubles at home, at work, with the law, and any other area of that alcoholic's life and all of them will be leading to long terms problems if they are not already.
I have never met a person who drinks Scope or another NBE who was not an alcoholic. I have been in recovery myself for over 4 years and I have seen, talked to, heard the story of, and specifically been told of the troubles of Scope consumption from 1000s of alcoholics over this time.
"Blindness and Organ Failure" are always the very least of their problems.
