From an online article, "Who Knew???"

Allow me to share:  "Vodka Remedies"

1.  To remove a bandage painlessly, saturate the bandage with vodka and it will dissolve the adhesive.  (if it stings, take a shot of vodka to kill the pain).

2.  To clean the caulking around bathtubs and showers, fill a trigger-spray bottle with vodka, spray the caulking, let it set five minutes and wash clean.  The alcohol in the vodka kills the mold and mildew.  (then sit back, admire your clean bathtub and enjoy a Vodka Tonic).

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.  (seeing is believing, so take another shot!)

4.  Prolong the life of razors by filling a cup with vodka and letting your razor blade soak in the alcohol after shaving.  The vodka disinfects the blade and prevents rusting.  (I recommend you wash your razor well first before using vodka to do it's magic...waste not want not!)

5.  Spray vodka on wine stains.  Scrub with a brush and blot dry. (do not mix red wine and vodka, as it is a nasty hangover...pick your poison!)

6.  Using a cotton ball, apply vodka to your face as an astringent to cleanse the skin and tighten pores.  (accidentally drizzle some in your mouth first.  After sufficient vodka consumption, your face will look as good as hers, too.  Just another pretty face!)

7.  Add a jigger of vodka to a 12-oz. bottle of shampoo.  The alcohol cleanses the scalp, removes toxins from the hair and stimulates the growth of healthy hair!  (imagine what the vodka can do for the rest of your body (!) in moderation, of course!)

8.  Fill a 16 oz. trigger spray bottle with vodka and spray bees or wasps to kill them.  (don't feel too guilty, they will die happy! )

9.  Pour one-half cup vodka and one-half cup water in a Ziploc freezer bag.  Freeze for a slushy, refreshing ice pack for aches and pain or black eyes. (wait a sec!  Door number 1, of course (!) and also add a jigger of cranberry juice, jigger of sweet and sour and Triple Sec and you've got yourself a "Cosmo-slushy!"  Suhweeeet!!!)

 10.  Fill a clean, used mayonnaise jar with freshly packed lavendar flowers, fill the jar with vodka, seal the lid tightly and set in the sun for 3 days.  Strain liquid through a coffee filter, then apply the tincture to aches and pains.  (I'm thinkin' the "slushy" above works better!  Suit yourself)!

11.  To relieve a fever, use a washcloth to rub vodka on your chest and back as a liniment.  (heck, if you're going to be delirious with fever, you might as well tie one on as well...followed by lots of sleep and "other fluids!)

12.  To cure foot odor, wash your feet with vodka.  (ok, even you think this is a waste of good vodka.  Can'tcha just take a shower and use soap?!  And for Pete's sake, put on some clean socks!)

13.  Vodka will disinfect and alleviate a jellyfish sting!  (therefore, always bring chilled vodka with you to the beach, for a dual purpose!  Those jellyfish love the taste of vodka, too!)

14.  Pour vodka over an area affected with poison ivy to remove the "urushiol oil"  from your skin.  (can't find fault with this one.  Might need a Vodka Martini to numb the itch of the pesky skin irritation!)

15.  Swish a shot of vodka over an aching tooth.  (now we're talkin'!)  Allow your gums to absorb some of the alcohol to numb the pain.  (some of the alcohol?!)

AND SILLY ME!!! 

I THOUGHT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO DRINK THE VODKA?!?

HAPPY FOODIE FIX-IT TUESDAY!!!
