Vodka: don't just drink it!

by Sam Poché

To be taken with a grain of salt, and maybe a squeeze of lemon!

1. To clean your eyeglasses, simply wipe the lenses with a soft, clean cloth dampened with vodka. The alcohol cleans glass and kills germs.

2. To remove a bandage painlessly, saturate the bandage with vodka. The solvent dissolves adhesive.

3. To clean the caulking around bathtubs and showers, fill a trigger spray bottle with vodka, spray caulking, let it sit for five minutes, wash clean.  The alcohol kills mold and mildew.

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

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

7. Vodka will disinfect and alleviate a jellyfish sting, and will relieve the painful itching of poison ivy.

Wish I'd known about this before now --- I've only been drinking the stuff!
