Uses for VODKA besides drinking it

2 - #11 said NOTHING about using on babies or children

True. That's why I wanted to add the warning. Many people mistakenly assume that if something is safe to do to an adult, it is safe for a child and that isn't always true. I still have moms come in periodically telling me that they baby had a fever so they rubbed him down with alcohol. It is an old time remedy that still gets used, so I thought a warning was appropriate here.

There are some funny facts about Vodka- i never knew it could be used to kill bees and wasps.

Hmmm, i wonder if they are drunk on the Vodka before they die? That would be a nice way to go - mellow and drunk, you wouldnt even know what was happening...

I know personally that #15 is true! I had to use the most rock gut kind i could get, i figured the cheaper the worst it was and i was right, i bought a half pint of cheap vodka and it burned like crazy, but it took the pain away, i soak my bad tooth with it and the swelling and all go down, almost instant pain relief, except for the burn pain you feel while it sets there, but it does work.

Actually, the active ingredient there is the alcohol. Better vodka would have fewer impurities and would burn less, but would still have the same result. That's why costlier vodka is so much smoother when you are drinking it.
