1. To remove a bandage painlessly, saturate the bandage with vodka.

The stuff 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.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Using a cotton ball, apply vodka to your face as an astringent to cleanse the skin and tighten pores.

Thanks, I'll print this and put it up on the fridge,next to the one about the benifits of Beer. Helps to keep the Wife out of the Manroom. .

[Gun Smith]

These uses were obviously put out by vodka distillers.

[nemhed]

Sounds like a lot of wasted vodka!

[mescalero1]

Some day I am going to get my hands on some REAL russian vodka!

[RIHMFIRE]

We use to do a lot of stuff like that with MOONSHINE!

[Doc Hudson]

I must admit these are much better uses for the stuff than drinking it.

[Old Savage]

I'll have to get a spray bottle of Grey Goose.

It also works great for college reunion receptions.

[Blaine]

Some day I am going to get my hands on some REAL russian vodka!

I'll settle for a Russian Babe, and she can bring the Vodka......

Or you could just drink the stuff, and you won't care about the mildew or the dirty glasses or the aching joints or the wasps or the jellyfish or the poison ivy or the premature baldness... hey, who cares, pass the bottle!

[mudgunner49]

15.. Swish a shot of vodka over an aching tooth. Allow your gums to absorb some of the alcohol to numb the pain. Or just drink it and you won't care about the pain...

[Chas.]

Regular alcohol will do all that and you don't pay as much, or state tax - except maybe for #15.

Exactly! A quart a day will do ya!

[AJMD429]

It's also a good way to clean goat teats before milking.

12.. To cure foot odor, wash your feet with vodka.

Pour er right back in the bottle afterwards and its still good to be served to the friends later!

[brno602]

I have a bottle of real Russian Vodka or at least a half bottle now lol
I have to say it's really good and a fancy bottle too, no screw on top just a stopper. You can also buy Cuban Cigars for really cheap in St Petersburg. You can get a really good vodka here called Black Stallion from Russia I would never waste it clean stuff that would be alcahol abuse!
Best thing about Vodka for me at least no hangover lol

[Big Bore 94]

Alcohol Abuse! One is supposed to keep a bottle of Stoli in the freezer for man's other small problems of the world.

[jeepnik]

Well, at least the wasps die happy.

[tman]

Vodka is GOOD.

[stew71]

Vodka also makes some people bulletproof, invisible, or God's gift to women.

if i ever get back to pennsylvania, remind me to pass on the screwdrivers, when/if offered.

[Doc Hudson]

Vodka is GOOD.

Tht my friend is a matter of opinion.

in fact it is an opinion I do not share.

IMO, if it isn't good Bourbon, irish Whisky or very good Scotch, it isn't good for drinking.

[piller]

Last night I watched a re-run of Mythbusters, and the vodka did not kill the bees. I would just mix the vodka with grapefruit juice in a salt rimmed glass and drink it.

[kimwcook]

Yep, seen it many a time.

Some day I am going to get my hands on some REAL russian vodka!

I have a Russian peer who lives in Moscow that I met for the first time face-to-face last year. He brought me some real Russian vodka, and I have to say it was the smoothest stuff I've ever had. I don't drink a lot anymore due to a car accident 25 years ago (and the damage it did to my liver), but I could get used to that stuff. Can't tell you what it was - all the writing on the bottle was in Cyrllic (sp?).
