sexual lubricant, in the literal sense.

Surprisingly, rum is a bad choice for cleaning contact lenses. I figured the alcohol would be good for eliminating buildup on the surface, but I failed to consider the effect it would have on my eyes.

This one is my favorite answer thus far. I'm imagining this scene:

man: Holy shit! The stove caught fire. Quick, gimme the fire extinguisher!
*spray*
man: wtf, that just made the fire bigger. What is in this thing anyway?
*sniff*
man: Is that... tequila?!?

Actually, that is a very suitable use of alcohol, assuming you want to forget the night before.

Brandy in tea works wonders.

Sorry, this is (arguably) suitable.

Here's an unsuitable use:

Quote from: Kris Kristofferson

The beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, so I had another for dessert.

Bourbon would make a pretty crappy lotion. I'd be all sticky.

Soap.

Toilet water.

Rubby · « **Reply #25 on:** 14 Jan 2007, 11:40 »

Hey if I could afford whiskey for toilet water, you bet I would do it.

Not so much for drink, just, you know, whiskey toilet water! I mean, come on.

BrittanyMarie · « **Reply #26 on:** 14 Jan 2007, 11:47 »

Brown water though? I used to have kinda-brown water since it was well water and seriously... gross! Besides, that would make backsplash that much less enjoyable! You'd think it'd have potential to burn or something.

Hunter · « **Reply #27 on:** 14 Jan 2007, 12:12 »

I.V. fluid.

It is totally unsuitable to substitute bourbon into your brownie batter.
No, wait, that's an excellent idea.

As for the toilet, you know when you have those really big poops and sometimes it splashes up? Yeah. No good at all.

In my mental version, the *spray* bit is followed by a terrible noise, then a terrible silence.

vodka makes a pretty bad substitute for hamster pellets.

Besides, you do know where milk comes from, right?

Totally unsuitable: Putting in any kind of fruity colourful cocktail. Not happening.

Gin is a bad, awful nasal spray decongestant.

Winner.

But still the thread must go on.

Rum should not be involved in soldering, ever again.

Building material, just doesn't work as well as water when mixed with cement mix.

I guess alcohol is suitable for almost everything, or wait, no. Almost. Guh.

Maybe not for contact lenses, stings like hell.

Tis quite good as prescription medicine. (just don't tell your doctor

)

edit: I do not recommend people use alcohol to fix problems. IT IS A BAD IDEA!!!

Nah, beer is the breakfast food. Guiness and Froot Loops FTW.

Elected officials.

Alcohol on its own seems to know very little about economics or foreign policy.

Personally if Ethanol stood for office I would vote for it.

Please, refrain from exercising your right to vote always.

What like ethanol is a worse vote than the monster raving looney party.

Would booze make a good disinfectant or a bad one?
