1. A mouthwash dispenser consisting of:a) a housing having an inner cavity able to retain mouthwashing liquid therein and a top opening for pouring said liquid into said inner cavity;b) a lid for selectively sealing said top opening and thereby enclosing the liquid in said inner cavity of said housing;c) control means extending from said housing for controlling the dispensing of said liquid from said inner cavity;d) a spout connected to said inner cavity for dispensing liquid from said inner cavity, wherein said control means is moveable between a first position preventing a flow of liquid from said inner cavity to said spout and a second position for allowing a flow of liquid from said inner cavity to said spout; ande) said housing having a compartment on one side thereof, said compartment containing shelves for storing reusable cups, and a door pivotable between a position enclosing said compartment and a position exposing said compartment, said cups on said shelves being identifiable for the user of each cup. 2. The mouthwash dispenser as recited in claim 1, further comprising a tube for connecting said inner cavity with said spout. 3. The mouthwash dispenser as recited in claim 2, wherein said control means includes a sealing element, said sealing element for obstructing the flow of the liquid through said tube when said control means is in said first closed position, and said sealing element allowing flow of the liquid through said tube when said control means is in a said second open position. 4. The mouthwash dispenser as recited in claim 2, wherein said housing is transparent. 5. The mouthwash dispenser as recited in claim 2, wherein said housing is translucent. 6. The mouthwash dispenser as recited in claim 2, wherein said housing is opaque. 7. The mouthwash dispense as recited in claim 2 wherein said control means further comprises:a) a lever;b) a switch;c) an actuator;d) a power source; ande) a retention gate, wherein said lever is connected to said switch, and when said lever is activated, said switch connects said power source to said actuator, whereby said power source activates said actuator to move said retention gate from a first closed position to a second open position. 8. The mouthwash dispense as recited in claim 2 wherein said control means further comprises:a) an electric eye;b) a switch;c) an actuator;d) a power source; ande) a retention gate, wherein said electric eye is connected to said switch, and upon detecting a receptacle beneath said electric eye, said electric eye controls said switch to connect said power source to said actuator, whereby said actuator causes said retention gate to move from a first closed position to a second open position. 9. The mouthwash dispenser as recited in claim 1 wherein said control means further comprises:a) a lever;b) a switch; andc) a retention gate, wherein said lever is connected to said switch, and when said lever is activated, said switch causes said retention gate to move from a first closed position to a second open position thereby allowing the liquid to flow through said spout. 10. The mouthwash dispenser as recited in claim 1 further comprising a display for displaying the contents of liquid contained within said inner cavity. 11. The mouthwash dispenser as recited in claim 1, further comprising a hinge for pivotally connecting said lid to said housing. 12. The mouthwash dispenser as recited in claim 1, further comprising means for securing said dispenser to a vertical surface.
