The Many Uses Of Vodka

January 4th 2007 01:50
vodka
It seems Vodka has more usefulness to it than just getting people inebriated.

The next time you're looking for an interesting solution to some of lifes little problems like running out of mouthwash or not knowing how to clean up vomit stains, then remember to try these out.

Remove bandages painlessly, first saturate the bandage with vodka, which will then dissolve the adhesive.

Clean bathtubs and showers, fill a spray bottle with vodka, spraythe bath and shower, leave for 5 minutes and then wash clean. The alcohol in the vodka actually kills mould and mildew.

Clean your glasses. Just wipe the lenses with a soft, clean cloth dampened with vodka.

Prolong the life of your razor blades by filling a cup with vodka and soaking your razor blade after shaving. The vodka not only disinfects the blade but also prevents rusting.

Vomit stains? No Problem. Simply spray vodka on the stains, scrub with a brush, then blot dry.

Use vodka on your face as an astringent. It cleanses the skin and tightens the pores.

Now that's my kind of shampoo! Add a splash of vodka to a bottle of shampoo. The alcohol cleanses the scalp, removes toxins from hair and stimulates the growth of healthy hair.

To treat dandruff, mix 1 cup vodka with 2 teaspoons crushed rosemary. Let it sit for 2 days, strain through a coffee filter then massage into your scalp and let dry.

Make your own mouthwash! Mix 9 tablespoons of cinnamon with 1 cup of vodka. Seal in an airtight container for 2 weeks. Strain through a coffee filter. Mix with warm water and rinse your mouth but of course remembering NOT to SWALLOW.

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

Treat earache. A few drops of vodka in your ear for a few minutes, then drained, will kill the bacteria causing pain in your ear.

Fill a spray bottle with vodka and spray bees or wasps to kill them. Or possibly just make them very drunk.........hope they're not mean drunks....!

A 1/2 cup of vodka and a 1/2 cup of water in a freezer bag when frozen, will make a reusable ice pack for aches, pains or black eyes.

Fill a clean, empty jar with freshl lavender flowers. Pour in vodka, seal the lid and set it in the sun. After 3 days strain the liquid,and apply to aches and pains.

Vodka applied to a cold sore will help it dry out.

Vodka, when applied directly to the skin can act as a local anesthetic for wounds and blisters.

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

To cure foot odor, wash your feet with vodka.

Vodka will disinfect and alleviate a jellyfish sting.

Vodka can also help make the opposite sex look more attractive than they really are, or plied with enough vodka, a member of the opposite sex can find you more attractive than you really are! So if all else fails, tip the bottle up and drink it!!

I see the alcoholic content of this blog is rising once more.

Unfortunately there's never enough left in the bottle after I've been drinking it to do any of these other things.

Cheers!

MelissaA,

I've heard that adding a tablespoon of vodka to boiling eggs will stop them going black?

Me personally, I like adding it to Organe juice to stop me going black. *lol*

I heard that if you put a drop of alcohol on a scorpion, it will immediately go mad and sting itself to death.

I tried that with rubbing alcohol and the scorpion did nothing.

So perhaps the little book meant Vodka?

Try it, I desperately want it to be true!!!

Why would someone want to waste perfectly good vodka on cleaning the shower or cleaning up vomit stains. Thats why god made things like stain remover and all purpose cleaner. Seriously people dont wast the worlds vodka supply its a precious resource we must conserve for its true purpose.

Vodka in a spray bottle sprayed into the gills of a fish is the most humane way to euthanise a fish.

vodka is for drinking only - all that staff in the post - vodka might help you forget about it but it will never cure anything worse than common cold. I am Russian and for most of us vodka is reason we are actually born. or dead. or in jail. you name it.

Wow.....and i thought vodka could not be more fun.....HOWEVER......if you can use vodka as a face wash because it TIGHTENS pores would you NOT want to use it when you have a fever....you kinda want open pores or as much cooling as possible...think about it....

It is only the alcohol content that makes all these things work. You could do all this stuff with a bottle of rubbing alcohol for a LOT cheaper.

Sexkitten,
its bad your bro died because of a drunk driver, but this list is just a fun/stupid list. The person who was drink-driving is responsible, not the vodka. This is the problem with alcohol, people blame the product, they don't take responsibility for themselves. That's too bad.

It would work on a fever just like rubbing alcohol. It has nothing to do with your pores. Alcohol boils and evaporates at a lower temperature than water, so if you put it on your skin when you have a fever it draws out the heat and cools you down.

My grandma has been using it to clean for years. It does leave everything really shiny. You just use the god-awful cheaper than cheap stuff.
