以前のエントリービネガー（お酢）の利用法で、お酢のいろいろな利用方法についてご紹介しましたが、今回は、Vodka(ウォッカ)の利用法。
1. To remove a bandage painlessly: 絆創膏をスムーズにとる。

18. Soothe a sore throat. Add a tablespoon of vodka to glass of warm water and gargle. The alcohol helps numb the sore throat: 喉の痛みに。
Eliminate swimer's ear. If you don't have rubbing alcohol, fill an eardropper with vodka, and squeeze it into the affected ear, then let it drain out
何だか後半は、やや怪しげな利用方法もありますが^^;、緊急用には多少役に立つかもしれませんね。
