Eugenia, the worst hangover I ever had was from vodka. Of course, this was in college and it was the cheap stuff, but I have to differ with your statement that it does not have the adverse affects of the dark liquors.

When I drank mixed beverages,vodka was my preference because as others have stated, it does not have a distinctive taste, like rum, for example (I hate rum). Daiquiris made with vodka are much better.

For those who like Everclear, save your money and stimulate the local economy by purchasing Wilkes Co. moonshine. It's much better- really!

Alcohol can lead to brownies, pies and cakes!
Alcohol is in every extract you have in your kitchen.

"Alcohol could lead to drunkenness and nudity..."

So what you're saying is, there's no down-side?

1.. To remove a bandage painlessly,

Saturate the bandage with vodka.


The stuff dissolves 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.
i


Allow your gums to absorb some of the alcohol to numb the pain.

And silly me!


I've only been drinking it! HUMMMM

Not meaning to change the subject and I know the topic of wine has been here before, but Duplin's Black River Red is a fabulous wine, IMO...It is very sweet, and for the money, an excellent wine.... When it comes to tequila, I am all about that Patron' Silver...drinks like water to me...that easy. You wouldn't like it either, Radio, if you don't like vodka.

Uncledaddy: "I'll consume anything made from taters".

Now I love 'taters as much as the next guy. My waistline reveals that. But I've never had a desire to drink 'em!

By the way, any beverage that must be consumed to excess in order to appreciate it's worth...I probably never will (appreciate it's worth).

Never had a desire to get dunk, this one. I've seen it (being drunk) up close and personal, and wasn't impressed!

Satan, as fun as that porcelain God sounds, it ain't my thang.

I have no desire to "offer up my innards" (EWWW!)

But I'll support your right to "worship" as you please!
