Alcoholics Get Domestic

Living in any college environment, it’s pretty safe to say that whether you opt to drink or not, you will be constantly surrounded by an excess of alcohol.

So, whether you feel your liver rotting or are growing tired of waiting for the RA to burst into your room and discover your roommate’s bottle of Majorska, gomestic.com has come up with 20 other ways to make use of beer and vodka.

To break the list down, I have highlighted some of my favorite (and least favorite) ideas for the alternative use of alcohol.

Favorites:

#3 Remove Stains- Who ever knew both beer and vodka could be used as emergency spot treatments? This is perfect for someone (like me) who is really anal about getting stains on their clothes.

Did someone dump their mixed drink on your shirt at a bar? Order a vodka on the rocks! Clear the stain with the vodka and use the ice to wipe the area clean.

#5 Insect Repellent- At a backyard BBQ with some fierce insect activity? Bust out a spray bottle filled with vodka. You can spray those suckers away without the disgusting scent of Raid.

#14 Remove Adhesive Bandage- This may seem silly, but sometimes taking off a band-aid really hurts. Obviously, the incident which caused you to need a bandage in the first place was probably somewhat painful, so why experience any additional discomfort? Apparently, pouring some vodka onto your bandage eases the pain of the removal process. No more holding your breath while you rip the bandage off as fast as you can.

Least Favorites:

#4 Promote Healthy and Luscious Hair- Rub beer and water into your hair right after you shampoo? No thanks. There are many scents I wouldn’t mind in my hair- flowers, citrus, even olive oil. Beer unfortunately, is not one of them.

#18 Trap Slimy Pests- This whole procedure seems cruel- and really gross to me. Apparently, snails + plants= death sentence. By burying an open container filled with beer inside the dirt, snails will take a plunge into a drunken sea from which they cannot escape.

I guess if you’re a dedicated gardener, this may be valid. Otherwise, who wants to find a container filled with beer and slimy snails in their garden? I know I don’t.
