Who would have thunk it??<br /><br />It's a wonderful thing this Vodka! Gonna get some now! <br /><br />1. To remove a bandage painlessly, saturate the bandage with vodka. The solvent dissolves the adhesive.<br /><br />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 mould and mildew.<br /><br />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<br />and kills germs.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />5. Spray vodka on vomit stains, scrub with a brush, then blot dry.<br /><br />6. Using a cotton ball, apply vodka to your face as an astringent to cleanse the skin and tighten pores.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />8. Fill a sixteen-ounce trigger-spray bottle and spray bees or wasps to kill them.<br /><br />9. Pour one-half cup vodka and one-half cup water in a Zip-lock freezer bag, and freeze for a slushy, refreshable ice pack for aches, pain, or black eyes.<br /><br />10. Fill a clean, used mayonnaise jar with freshly picked 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.<br /><br />11. Make your own mouthwash by mixing nine tablespoons powdered cinnamon with one cup vodka. Seal in an airtight container for two weeks. Strain through a coffee filter. Mix with warm water and rinse your mouth. Don't swallow.<br /><br />12. Using a q-tip, apply vodka to a cold sore to help it dry out.<br /><br />13. If a blister opens, pour vodka over the raw skin as a local anesthetic that also disinfects the exposed dermis.<br /><br />14. To treat dandruff, mix one cup vodka with two teaspoons crushed rosemary, let sit for two days, strain through a coffee filter and massage into your scalp and let dry.<br /><br />15. To treat an earache put a few drops of vodka in your ear. Let set for a few minutes. Then drain. The vodka will kill the bacteria that is causing pain in your ear.<br /><br />16. To relieve a fever, use a washcloth to rub vodka on your chest and back as a liniment.<br /><br />17. To cure foot odor, wash your feet with vodka.<br /><br />18. Vodka will disinfect and alleviate a jellyfish sting.<br /><br />19. Pour vodka over an area affected with poison ivy to remove the urushiol oil from your skin.<br /><br />20. Swish a shot of vodka over an aching tooth. Allow your gums to absorb some of the alcohol to numb the pain.<br /><br />Or my personal favorite:<br /><br />21. If all else fails, just turn the bottle up and drink it, nothing will matter anymore anyway!
