    I found this interesting so thought I'd share :TU:

    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

    16. NEVER DRINK THE STUFF - IT'LL KILL YOU!!

    I prefer to

    waste my vodka with dry vermouth!!! :laugh:
     
  6. All the properties that are described as functions of Vodka are just from its alcoholic content. You can do the same with the 99 cent bottle of rubbing alcohol from the corner market. Well, except drink it.

    This e-mail must have been started by the Vodka industry!

    When I was in college we used to buy cheap vodka (Popov, Bukoff) and the cheapest beer we could find (PBR, Milwaukee's Best, Piels, etc). We'd mix the beer with powdered Country Time lemonade mix. We'd use this concoction as the mixer for the cheap vodka. It didn't taste that bad, actually, although the next mornings could sometimes be rough. Had I known vodka could be used to clean up vomit, we coulda used what was left the next morning (if there was any). :Smarty:
