How to make it

  • 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. Clean jewelry. Soak the jewelry in vodka for five minutes, then rinse, and dry.
  • 4. Clean lipstick from clothing. Rub the stain with vodka, then throw into your regular wash.
  • 5. Remove the glue left behind by a bumper sticker. Rub the glue with a soft, clean cloth soaked with vodka
  • 6. 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.
  • 7. Spray vodka on vomit stains, scrub with a brush, then blot dry.
  • 8. Using a cotton ball, apply vodka to your face as an astringent to cleanse the skin and tighten pores.
  • 9. 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.
  • 10. Fill a sixteen-ounce trigger-spray bottle and spray bees or wasps to kill them.
  • 11. 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.
  • 12. 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.
  • 13. To relieve a fever, use a washcloth to rub vodka on your chest and back as a liniment.
  • 14. To cure foot odor, wash your feet with vodka.
  • 15. vodka will disinfect and alleviate a jellyfish sting.
  • 16. Pour vodka over an area affected with poison ivy to remove the urushiol oil from your skin.
  • 17. Swish a shot of vodka over an aching tooth. Allow your gums to absorb some of the alcohol to numb the pain.
  • 18. Soothe a sore throat. Add a tablespoon of vodka to glass of warm water and gargle. The alcohol helps numb the sore throat.
  • Eliminate swimer's ear. If you don't have rubbing alcohol, fill an eardropper with vodka, and squeeze it into the affected ear, then let it drain out
  • If all else fails, make a stiff drink and forget your problems (just one drink!)LOL

    These tips are obviously not meant for us Vodka lovers. Most of these seem A@# backwards to me. RE.
    #1. Do a shot of Vodka, pull off the bandage, It wont hurt.
    #2. Fill a spray bottle with Vodka, spray it into your mouth. Use bleach to kill the mold, it works better and is much cheaper.
    #3 Drink Vodka then lick your jewlry clean.
    #6 Fill a cup with vodka, drink it. Go out and buy new razor blades. Razor blades don't rust anymore, if they are, they are at least 15 yrs old.
    #13. Soak a washcloth with vodka, suck on the wash cloth. You will forget you have fever.
    For all the numbers I didn't cover. See #20..;-)~
    Just my opinion but Im sticking to it... LOL
