The Versatility of Vodka

It is not just for old ladies any more

1. To remove a bandage painlessly, saturate the bandage with vodka. The solvent dissolves adhesive.

2. To clean the caulking around bathtubs and showers, fill a trigger-spray bottle with vodka, spray the caulking, let set five minutes and wash clean. The alcohol in the vodka kills mold and mildew.

3. To clean your eyeglasses, simply wipe the lenses with a soft, clean cloth dampened with vodka. The alcohol in the vodka cleans the glass and kills germs.

4. Prolong the life of razors by filling a cup with vodka and letting your safety razor blade soak in the alcohol after shaving. The vodka disinfects the blade and prevents rusting.

5. Spray vodka on vomit stains, scrub with a brush, then blot dry.

6. Using a cotton ball, apply vodka to your face as an astringent to cleanse the skin and tighten pores.

7. Add a jigger of vodka to a 12-ounce bottle of shampoo. The alcohol cleanses the scalp, removes toxins from hair, and stimulates the growth of healthy hair.

8. Fill a sixteen-ounce trigger-spray bottle and spray bees or wasps to kill them.

9. Pour one-half cup vodka and one-half cup water in a Ziplock freezer bag and freeze for a slushy, refreshable ice pack for aches, pain or black eyes.

10. Fill a clean, used mayonnaise jar with freshly packed lavender flowers, fill the jar with vodka, seal the lid tightly and set in the sun for three days. Strain liquid through a coffee filter, then apply the tincture to aches and pains.

11. To relieve a fever, use a washcloth to rub vodka on your chest and back as a liniment.

12. To cure foot odor, wash your feet with vodka.

13. Vodka will disinfect and alleviate a jellyfish sting.

14. Pour vodka over an area affected with poison ivy to remove the oil from your skin.

15. Swish a shot of vodka over an aching tooth. Allow your gums to absorb some of the alcohol to numb the pain.

Yeah, I just turned 18 a couple weeks ago, and I'm lucky to live in Manitoba. And it's mostly for when I get home from work.

No wonder you hate the US!  It is 21 everywhere here.  But in Mexico...

I took my sons down there last summer.  My oldest (19 now, but 18 then) wanted to do just one thing.  Go into a bar and order "una cerveza por favor".  He went into a strip joint called the Green door!  NO strippers were in there at that time (bummer for him I know).

Celebrate your new GG!  Just dont drive, ok?

Aahh, vodka. Reminds me of the time when I was starting my second year of college and my mother came to visit the apartment I shared with 3 others. For some reason she was opening some cupboards (maybe to see if we had any food) and saw a bottle of vodka. My response to her question "What is this?" was: "Umm, we use that for cooking."

Very good!  Quick on your feet!  You learned well in college.

My thoughts exactly. It's not about spraying vodka on vomit stains when it's the mysterious disappearance of said vodka that probably caused the stains

Don't worry, we get a lot of college students coming up here from Minneapolis on spring break and spending their money for some reason...

I bet they are illegally smuggling booze back to the lower 48 in their stomachs too!

Well, Doc, I'm a big drinker so I will disagree with #16. But I will tell you I only drink on those cold nights and you know how cold it gets on the Mexico border.

btw .. I hope the first 15 were true cause I'm going to try them.



Here's how much I like vodka.
One day I found a bottle. I rubbed it and out came a genie. The genie said, "I will grant you 2 wishes."

I said, "I like Russian vodka. So I guess I'll take a glass of that." POOF! I had a glass of vodka!

To my surprise, once I finished the glass it refilled by itself, "Wow! It refilled itself!" The genie said, "Of course! It's a magic glass. It will never run out of vodka."

I exclaimed, "Great! I'll have another one of these!"

When ur outta Vodka and wondrin how good Binding Spring Bock still is these days, u can still give it a try. Binding was sold to Henninger about 2 years ago. But it still tastes like Binding. Glad Henninger still keeps up good clubs in Frankfurt or helps them, even though everybody bashfully says there they only have Kaiser Pilsener so as not to tell u its a beer by Henninger. This is confusing, isn´t it? Binding still kept its name, Henninger taste is now Kaiser Pilsener, they also market Highlander from Scotland and their rather good Henninger Malz Beer (sweet malt beer without (much) alcohol, if you are in a car accident, ur blood test still shows some though = Gärungskohlensäure, consult chemist for translation)

Although ur question when was Binding sold was a response to a half on topic comment of mine on Draginols long thread, my answer would have been off there, so I found this somewhat on topic guest book of yours here, another delight, to put it instead... Cheers (not the TV series, another sidetrack, no the prosit burp)

Not sure if this has a practical use or not, but you can dip a piece of paper in vodka and light it on fire. The vodka will burn but the paper won't
Reply #22 Top
Gee! Might be good to keep the paper for burning later because of heating problems in the Great White North, unless the vodka flame 1st melts ur iglo(u). Also might be nice to make the paper burn and keep the v.. If I find out how I will mail it to Bob n Doug McKenzie or MacLaine n MacLaine. Greetings from beer resort to vodka vault

Gärungskohlensäure

Blood alcohol level.  Literally, Fermentation carbonic acid.

Thanks for the update.  LIke I said, it has been a long time since I was frequenting the GastHauses of Frankfurt am Main.

Remind me never to eat paper while drinking Vodka!
