Yea, Vodka for poison ivy, and piratey stains.

And you don’t really need pondwater to be drinkable, as you have vodka.

I dunno, I asked my vet if I could sterilize something (I don’t remember what, it was a long time ago) in vodka instead of denatured alcohol and she said “NO!” Then she asked what I was doing with a bottle of vodka. I can’t remember, but it’s gone now.

Peaches are better canned in brandy. Lemons in vodka. The herb thing? I guess so. Low water content. Will have to try it. White wine seems more logical since it’s good to cook with. Vodka has a more limited application in cooking.

Only times I’ve ever put vodka on my clothes were when I’d had too much and spilled and when I had too much and lost it all on the floor in my sister-in-law’s foyer and lay there in the puddle. Didn’t drink vodka for years after that. Ick.

Forget AM ale……I want my morning to start with a generous glass of bacon vodka. Then follow it up with Steve’s brilliant bacon stuffed pork recipe. Deeeellliiisshhh. Someone please call Duke and schedule my cardiac cath ASAP. Does Ranger Up sell patriotic cardiac stents?

Hey, wasn’t there a whole story arc of Mythbusters on this stuff? It works on jellyfish.

On a motorcycle trip, for instance, you may not have along everything under the kitchen sink, but a few ounces of hundred proof anything will do to clean a wound or a carburetor, start a campfire with wet kindling, render pondwater drinkable. I forgot the fresh clothes part. Never tried it on leather.
I have been known to preserve peaches in vodka. They’re good for months, but the whole point of it is, after you eat the peaches you’re supposed to DRINK the VODKA.
