Vodka was made for so much more than mules and martinis. It may surprise you to learn that the spirit was actually invented as a source of medicine (something Princess Margaret was perhaps privy to, given her decadent morning routine) and to this day, the colorless, odorless drink has a number of health benefits.

On very rare occasions when I have one of my dirty-tinis I ALWAYS include three or for olives and the liquid is always right out of the freezer.
this is my kind of article. :)
Hangovers are mostly caused by the “impurities” in the booze. That is, the stuff that gives it flavor. You don’t have to worry about that with Vodka. Unless you mix it with something!
There’s more than 1 way?
Who’d thunk it?
Yeah...MIL, who died in October at 94, drank vodka (a lot) and never exercised or ate healthily.
When I drink liquor, which is about twice a year, I like a vodka (preferably Grey Goose) martini up. Vodka-cranberry is good, too.
Not mentioned, vodka is sleep inducing.
Sometimes I miss the bottle of Vodka in the freezer.

I literally drank Vodka with a crazy Russian at 6AM at a fishing camp in Russia, summer of 2017.

GOOD ONE! Gonna try it. Thanks.
Absolution. Thanks
Yep. I can confirm. Vodka is what sucked me down the long road to alcoholism. She’s a sneaky little succubus that will steal your life if you let her. If you ever find yourself buying half gallons of vodka not for a party...you need to stop drinking right now.
My "Golden Rule:" No wine before 6:00 p.m. - before then, only vodka.
