Vodka Isn’t Just for Drinking

The next time you need to do some housecleaning, try vodka. No, I don’t mean drink it, though that might make the housecleaning more fun.

Vodka is great for killing mildew and mold. It can also be used for cleaning polyester ties, eyeglasses, and diamond rings. The first link also includes a nice recipe for making a vodka air freshener:

Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed - Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, 'It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver.
