Wow I never heard about vodka treatment on your hair but I’ve heard many times that girls are using beer on their hair to strenghten it. I guess it’s the alcohol that helps

This is the second time in a week I heard about doing a vodka treatment on your hair. I think the universe is conspiring to tell me something. (Something like, buy some vodka.)

Good tips to know. I always love to read about additional uses for a product. And natural cleaning items are often cheaper than chemical cleansers.

Vinegar as a conditioner ? Although it might be good for your hair.. but as conditioner is the last thing youwould put on your hair, would it not reek as though you fell is a pot of fish and ships ?

Coolio! I never knew these things about Vodka!

We use baking soda and vinegar a LOT as they are natural cleaners, disinfectants and super cheap.

We use baking soda to brush our teeth. Also mix a little baking soda and water to make a great, healthy and cheap shampoo! Vinegar makes a great conditioner and both are good for any kind of cleaning. If you run into mildew, use vinegar to clean.

Awesome! I had no idea vodka had so many uses other than the obvious. I feel like I should buy some on my way home tonight.

Thanks, Audrey — if it's okay with you, I'll be sure to add your suggestions to the post! And guess what? Besides being incredibly insightful, your comment is notable for another reason—a big milestone! For weeks, we’ve been watching the number of comments on Two Go Round-The-World climb toward quadruple digits—and finally, it’s happened! Excluding the thousands of spam comments we're constantly deleting, a total of 1,000 comments have been left here in the 14 months since we launched our site! We're sure a good portion of these comments are our replies to questions and comments but the bulk are from visitors! Kathryn and I would like to thank our readers—and especially everyone who's left a comment. Let’s see if we can get to 2,000 before the end of the year!

When I lived in Estonia as a Peace Corps volunteer, vodka seemed to be an important ingredient in every remedy. Here are a few more to add to your list.

- If you can’t break a fever, soak your socks in vodka and put them on.
- Vodka mixed with pepper is good for stomach issues.
- vodka rubbed on mosquito bites help takes the itch away.

Never knew that vodka takes away foot odor and is good for hair. Amazing!
