Unlike methanol or rubbing alcohol, vodka is an ethanol based substance. It is less harmful. It will merely give you a hangover, instead of killing you. It is potentially less cancer producing. Vodka in a spray bottle seems to work well to disinfect kitchen and bathroom counters. It is supposedly good as a mouthwash, and been shown to reduce foot odor, possibly for underarm odor, as well as reduce smells on your laundry. Unlike soaps full of antibiotics, vodka can clean your hands and not promote antibiotic germs from evolving, or getting into 'downstream'. Why disinfect with toxic unknown chemicals when you can spritz a shot of vodka instead? About $20 bucks a gallon, it lasts a long while, and it's biodegradable! Spray bottle not included.

Today I used it to spray-wash my veggies when making Lemon Tahini Dressing. Also today I started a vodka mouthwash similar to one found on the internet. 1 and ½ cups Vodka 3 full Tbs. dried spearmint leaves (optional) 30 drops tincture of Bloodroot (optional-helps remove plaque) 2 full Tbs. Myrrh (optional-helps heal mouth sores) Bottle it and shake it every day for 2 weeks. Then strain it through a cloth to remove residue, add 2 cups water and store it in a big bottle by the sink. Rinse and gargle a couple of times a day. Incidentally, it’s been several weeks now since the mouthwash was made. It is horrible. Now, I prefer to just gargle a shot of vodka, and then either spit it out or swallow. Much better tasting. Vodka is something we could make at home, if we could change ATF laws. Do a search on the internet for 21 uses for vodka. Experiment.
