    20 UNUSUAL WAYS TO USE VODKA

    How do you use vodka?



    Aside from the one way we all know vodka can be put to good use, it’s not a completely pointless liquid otherwise. In fact, the alcoholic beverage spreads itself quite thin on the usefulness scale. Vodka’s anti-bacterial properties are what give it such potency in combatting a lot of common ailments and household issues – from earaches to carpet stains. Grab yourself a bottle, or two, and redefine what it means to booze.

    Poison Ivy Reliever

    Apply vodka to an area affected by poison ivy and it will dry up surrounding skin, getting rid of any oils that are causing the poison ivy to inflame and itch.

    Laundry Freshener

    Fill a small spray bottle with vodka and lightly spray clothes. The vodka smell goes away when the clothes dry completely. The vodka helps to remove any unwanted odors.

    Flower Preserver

    Plants produce the ripening gas ethylene, which promotes maturation. Vodka stunts ethylene production and allows for flowers to stay fresher, longer. Spray flower stems with a 2:1 ratio mix of vodka and sugar. Repeat every few days.

    Insect Repellent

    Keep the insects at bay by squirting some vodka on your skin before going outdoors. Add essential lavender oil. Insects hate the smell of lavender, and you will prefer it to the smell of vodka lingering on your skin. You could also mix vodka into your scented moisturizer.

    Jelly Fish Bite Soother

    Much like vodka helps to treat poison ivy on the skin, the liquid also helps to alleviate the pain and itch that come post nasty jelly fish bite. Bring along a 1:1 mixture of vodka and water in a spray bottle to the beach just in case of an attack.

    Hair Shiner

    Add 1-2 ounces of vodka to your shampoo and watch as your hair emerges from a shower feeling cleaner, silky, and shiny.

    Band-Aid Remover

    Vodka will help to dissolve the sticky edges of a band-aid and allow for a painless removal. Not that you would, but a few swigs before peeling the adhesive off won’t hurt either.

    Computer Screen Cleaner

    Using water to clean a computer screen often leaves behind distracting smears. Apply vodka to the screen and wipe away for a seamless and clear complexion.

    Eye Glasses Cleaner

    It may not be the best idea to carry around a bottle of vodka, but a small spray bottle may be less conspicuous and prove to be very useful. Your glasses will get star treatment on the go.

    Air Freshener

    Mix equal parts water and vodka in a spray bottle and spray around the house. The vodka dissolves odors and the solution is completely odorless.


    Razor Blade Cleanser

    Soak razor blades in vodka and dissolve away build-up and buff the razor all in one. This trick will keep your razor blades clean and disinfected whilst extending the lifespan of your razor collection.

    Jewelry Cleaner

    Let your jewelry sparkle and shine. Soak and lightly scrub them in some vodka to remove any impurities.

    Pore Reduction

    Lightly soak one side of a cotton ball in vodka and dab your face. The vodkas acts as an astringent, tightening the pores and removing excess oils.

    Homemade Mouthwash

    Because of vodka’s capacity to fight bacteria and prevent infection, you can gargle it in the A.M. (without swallowing) to clean your mouth. Vodka may not be the first thing you want to taste on a sensitive morning stomach, so dilute it with equal parts water add a few drops of mint oil.

    Cold Sore Treatment

    Vodka can help to reduce cold sore inflammation and redness by drying the affected area. Dip one end of a Q-tip into vodka and use it to dab sores.

    Shower Cleaner

    Attack those moldy, dark crevices with a toothbrush and some vodka. Spray vodka onto moldy areas, let sit for 15 minutes, and then scrub away. The vodka kills the mold.

    Antiseptic

    Vodka is a great disinfectant and antiseptic. Apply to minor cuts and burns to kill bacteria.

    Stickiness Remover

    Vodka works wonders on removing all that is gooey! From stickers on car surfaces to gum on the bottom of a shoe, a little vodka goes a long way.

    Treat Ear Aches

    Put a few drops of vodka into your ear. Let the alcohol sit in the ears for a few minutes each and then drain. The vodka kills bacteria that causes pain.

    Stain Remover

    Vodka effectively gets rid of ink, grass and lipstick stains. Dab stain with vodka and rub the stain away. Add the stained garment to the laundry afterwards for a more thorough clean.

    Tooth-Ache Reliever

    Gargle vodka without swallowing, unless you want a buzz. The vodka will prevent infection and reduce inflammation and soreness in the mouth.


    Foot Odor Cure

    For those of you who suffer from foot odor, consider vodka your new best friend. Soak your feet in a shallow bucket of vodka, which will kill bacteria-causing odor. Let your feet dry to get rid of the vodka smell or wash your feet with fragrant soap directly after the treatment.

    Fever Alleviation

    Vodka works well as a liniment to reduce a fever, because it evaporates very quickly and can provide a cooling relief. Apply vodka to a soft cloth and place on your chest.

    Many uses for the ol potato pi$$. I prefer gin, but I couldn't imagine rubbing my feet down with it.

    I had a martial arts instructor, he was from the old school. He used vodka to make "iron palm medicine". I want to say it worked, but I never did any conditioning without it, so I must admit that I was always a little bit skeptical.

    Gulag Chief:
    "Article 58-1a, twenty five years... What did you get it for?"
    Gulag Prisoner: "For nothing at all."
    Gulag Chief: "You're lying... The sentence for nothing at all is 10 years"

    LOL - I love the internet. After my post I decided to look up iron palm medicine - my usage of it predates the internet. Never a disappointment, although the video shows an intro with some guys doing "conditioning". The guy in the background is punching bags, but we had used wooden spring blocks fastened to the walls. They were better at conditioning as they would cause the bone to develop very small stress fractures, which when healed, created calcium deposits (iron palm). My instructor had no ridges on his knuckles - his fists were flat across, I sh!t you not. Just like "the thing" from the comics.

    Just be careful when gargling.


    You can also use Vodka to make tinctures.

    I can't find that much around these parts. It's weird how common things like Kahlua and various seafood is exotic here. Hell, they don't even have Mad Dog (aka Mogen David) here. (No, I don't drink that crap.)

    I'll get it when I go downstairs. I'm doing laundry - at this point it's more important than booze. You know it's serious when I say that.

    Well that certainly qualifies as an unusual use for vodka.

    I will never admit that that crossed my mind.

    How freaking desperate do you have to be to inject vodka in your ass? Doesn't it leak out if you stand up?
