To clean the caulking joints in bathrooms and showers, fill a spray bottle with vodka, spritz it on the putty, wait five minutes, and rinse with water. The alcohol in the vodka kills mould, mildew, and other microorganisms.

To clean the lenses of your specs, wipe them with a cloth slightly dampened with vodka. The alcohol in the vodka cleans the glass and kills the germs.

Your kitchen is infested with fruit flies? Mix together 30 millilitres (2 tablespoons) of vodka, 4 drops of dishwashing liquid, and 400 millilitres (1.75 cups) of water. Wipe it over the areas where insects congregate, and they’ll leave.

Fill an empty mayonnaise jar with fresh lavender flowers, pour vodka over them, tighten the lid, shake it all up, and put in the sun for three days. Then, strain the liquid through cheesecloth, discard the flowers, and use the tincture as a balm for muscle aches and pains.

To get rid of ear pain, drip a few drops of vodka in your ear. Wait a few minutes, then, blot your ear carefully. The vodka will kill the bacteria that cause inflammation and pain in the ear.

Now, isn’t that special? You won’t look at that rotgut the same ever again, will you? Just shows to go ya that we Russkies DO know a thing or two…
Of course, what’s even better than vodka in the above uses is Everclear… everybody knows that the 190 proof stuff is better than the 151 proof (it dissolves more essences and is more alcoholic)… but you can’t get the real stuff in many places. If all else fails, there’s jelly shots…

The Telegraph reported that scientists managed to invent a pill that neutralises the action of alcohol. The researchers explained that these pills might allow someone to drink alcohol and not get drunk. In addition, the inventors went on to say that they could relieve a hangover. American and Australian scientists successfully tested the new drug on mice. They hope that the pill would have the same effect on people as it does on rodents.
