Vodka!!
-
Who knew?!!!! 1. To remove a bandage painlessly,saturate the bandage with vodka. The stuff desolves 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. 5. Spray vodka on wine stains, scrub with a brush, and then blot dry. 6. Using a cotton ball, apply vodka to your face as an astringent to cleanse the skin and tighten pores. 7. Add a jigger of vodka to a 12-ounce bottle of shampoo. The alcohol cleanses the scalp, removes toxins from hair, and stimulates the growth of healthy hair. 8. Fill a sixteen-ounce trigger-spray bottle with vodka and spray bees or wasps to kill them. 9 Pour one-half cup vodka and one-half cup water into a Ziploc freezer bag and freeze for a slushy, refreshing ice pack for aches, pain or black eyes. 10. Fill a clean, used mayonnaise jar with freshly packed lavender flowers, fill the jar with vodka, seal the lid tightly and set in the sun for three days. Strain liquid through a coffee filter, then apply the tincture to aches and pains. 11. To relieve a fever, use a washcloth to rub vodka on your chest and back as a liniment. 12. To cure foot odor, wash your feet with vodka. 13 Vodka will disinfect and alleviate a jellyfish sting. 14. Pour vodka over an area affected with poison ivy to remove the urushiol oil from your skin. 15. Swish a shot of vodka over an aching tooth. Allow your gums to absorb some of the alcohol to numb the pain. And silly you all! You all have only been drinking the stuff :laugh:
Rather an expensive disinfectant.

I did when I was a child:-D My grandfather has bought a couple of hives after he retired, and he's had honey bees for 10 years (or around that) now. Anyway, I was once helping clean up after a "party" (basically a bunch of relatives getting together), and I poured out (kinda threw out..;P ) what was left over in a cup - thought it was water, turned out to be vodka. A considerable amount of it got onto a group of bees flying around flowers. Some acted like they were drunk, most got angry. Good thing I'm not allergic to bee stings :) Alas, no video.
Now spraying Vodka at wasps may be risky, but how about adding A LIT MATCH...? Just a thought... :rolleyes:

I want a video of anyone dumb enough to try this. :) Everything else is just basically listing uses of alcohol. And I'm fairly sure that applying ethanol to the skin is a great way of stripping essential oils and causing nothing but skin irritations.

I think the only irritations would be from your mates wondering why in the hell you would be wasting perfectly good vodka :p

...the size of my fist sitting either size of my garage. Supply me with the Vodka and a video camera for your request, plus a bottle of Inner Circle Black Dot 75.9% Rum for my enjoyment and your wish is my command.

Way back when, at the tender age of 11, a gang of my friends (neighbor's kids) and I noticed that on many of the backyard fences in our houses (Edmonton), bee hives flourished like weeds. It was the summer and we used to cause a ruckus with the super soakers and water balloon fights that we used to have. We hatched a plan to rid the neighborhood of the pesky bees. It was perfect. Justin and Terry would charge in on their bikes swinging their plastic swords at the hive. Anna and Len would then approach close enough to launch a barrage of fatal water balloons and super soaker squirts. Then, because I was the biggest in size, I'd march in like a tank column and smash the hive into a paste with the biggest rock I could find. Assisted by the rest of course. We chose the first victims to be the inhabitant's in Terry's backyard. It all went as planned. Justin and Terry screaming shrilly like a pair of terrified girls, broke their swords on the fence without harming the hive. Anna managed to miss with every balloon she launched and Len happened to close his eyes while aiming because of the sun. I picked up the rock, marched forward, brazen like Hercules after the Nemean Lion. Launch. It hit the lower part of the hive. Success. What's that angry cloud? RUN!!!! I remember running for at least 200 yards, clear up the street as far away from the cul-de-sac. It stung and hurt all over. Something was tickling me on the right side of my neck and I scratched it with my hand. It stayed in my hand. Lo and behold, a wasp had decided to feast on a bee that had been attempting to sting me on the neck. Suffice it to say, I limped on both legs home, crying, defeated, with a snot more than probably dripping off of my upper lip. I got rushed to the nearest walk in clinic. By then my neck had swollen to be abnormally huge. Total count? 21 bee stings and 1 wasp sting (you could tell because it was an angry red). I was on medication for a week. I wish we had a camcorder back then. This would have been the ultimate don't do what I do video. Worthy of Steve-O[^] himself.

In that case, you might want to replace the Vodka with hair spray. Just a thought :)

In America we have a show called MythBusters and on that show they tested a few of these along some others so I was familiar with some of these although I have only used Vodka myself as an adult beverage...
