Vodka has been enjoyed since the early Middle Ages, and is well known as one of the world’s most popular spirits. Its high alcohol content and versatility in mixing have made it extremely popular in cocktails, and is still widely enjoyed “straight up” in much of Eastern and Northern Europe.
Vodka also has a long history of use as medicine, having been sold by druggists to cure everything from infertility to colic and the plague. It has a wide range of potential uses beyond serving as a relaxer and social lubricant.
Here are a few examples:
Treat Poison Ivy: To avoid the uncomfortable reaction to poison ivy, immediately pour vodka on the skin that has come into contact with the poison ivy. The alcohol will wash away the itchy culprit, urushiol oil.
Freshen Laundry: Yes, you can keep you clothes smelling fresher with vodka. Simply spray your clothes with the vodka, and then hang to dry in a well ventilated area. Vodka kills odor-causing bacteria, but does not leave a scent when dry.
Repel Insects: Vodka can actually kill insects. Pour a little of the vodka in a spray bottle and spray it either on the insects themselves to kill them, or on yourself as a repellent.
