What else do you do with yours !

On serious note, we use alcohol for many other purposes.

Screen wash is one of them, followed by surface cleaner in a spray bottle.

I store every bottle, container, fermenter etc with a splash in the bottom.

What else do people use it for?

Fire lighting fluid.
I have a log burner,and can use seemingly as much as I can produce.

I am going to edit the post title,and add a "do you", c'mon mate, gibberish helps no-one.

I think mine will just go for screen wash/house hold window spray,
Somebody else mentioned using it to remove bottle labels.. That could be handy

Getting sticky stuff off things (jars mostly) when the label has peeled off. Most of my collection jars came from Tesco cheapo golden syrup & you would think being the lowest of the low that the jars would be crap with labels held on with spit but you'd be dead wrong...they're held on with what must be gorilla glue & make a right mess getting them off!

With you there,the cheaper the product,the stronger the glue holding the label on!
A jar of local "Artisan" honey has a label that falls off in the fridge..

It seems to be the opposite with wine bottles, the cheap ones nearly always come of easier
