Vodka!
So back in the day when "we" used to keep booze in the house, there'd always be some vodka in there for bloodies and whatever else we felt like having.
It wasn't until things got bad that I realized another great benefit of vodka. The bottle can be filled back up with water to maintain the quantity that was recently consumed. Water is a good placeholder for the booze until a fresh bottle can be purchased and stashed.
I'm trying to make light humor of Vodka because I hate the ****.
