Vodka - Who knew?


 Don't know if any of this is true or not, but worth reading!  (I’ve added a few comments.)


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 trigger-spray bottle with vodka, spray the caulking, let set five minutes and wash clean.  The alcohol in the vodka kills mold and mildew.   Would licking the mildewed caulking hurt me?
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, and then blot dry.  Wonder where the vomit stain came from to begin with.  My guess is the vodka’s already in the carpet.
6. Using a cotton ball, apply vodka to your face as an astringent to cleanse the skin and tighten pores.    Don’t forget your tongue.
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.  Only her bartender knows for sure.
8. Fill a sixteen-ounce trigger-spray bottle and spray bees or wasps to kill them.  What a way to go.
9. Pour one-half cup vodka and one-half cup water in a Ziploc freezer bag and freeze for a slushy, refresh- able ice pack for aches, pain or black eyes.  Why not just drink a half cup of vodka and cut out the middle man.
10. Fill a clean, used mayonnaise jar with freshly packed lavender flowers, fill the jar with vodka, seal the lid tightly andset in the sun for three days. Strain liquid through a coffee filter, then apply the tincture to aches and pains.  The pains you got from falling down the staird drunk.
11. To relieve a fever, use a washcloth to rub vodka on your chest and back as a liniment.   When done, squeeze out the remainder in a glass.  You know what to do with it then.
12. To cure foot odor, wash your feet with vodka.  Even I won’t go there.
13 Vodka will disinfect and alleviate a jellyfish sting.  So will pee, but I think I’d prefer vodka.
14. Pour vodka over an area affected with poison ivy to remove the urushiol oil from your skin.  Gotta kill that itch somehow.
15. Swish a shot of vodka over an aching tooth Allow your gums to absorb some of the alcohol to numb the pain.  Don’t forget to swallow.


And dumb old me- - - I've only been drinking the stuff.


Thanks Phyllis
