5 Alternative Uses For Beer

Posted by Abby Crawford on

1. Wash Your Hair With Beer. Want to make your   hair shinier and have more volume? Skip the hair conditioner and break out the   bottle of beer.

2. Sleep Aid. Beer can help you get a good night's   sleep -- and you don't even have to drink it. When you are washing your sheets   and pillowcases, pour some beer into the washer. Apparently there's something   about the smell of beer that works as a sedative.

3. Slugicide. Save this tip for the coming spring.   If your garden is under attack from slugs and snails, just pour beer into a   shallow dish and leave it out overnight. For whatever reason, they are attracted   to beer. Let's just say they won't be a problem come morning.

4. Revive Your Wooden Furniture. This is a great   way to use those half full, flat bottles of beer you always wind up having after   a party. It turns out that flat beer does a great job of restoring the shine   to wooden furniture. Wait till the beer is absolutely flat and use just enough   to moisten a towel. After you wipe down your furniture, it'll return to its   original fresh color.

5. Metal Polisher. When your kitchenware, faucets   or other metal around the house is looking a little dull, you can polish it   with beer! The amber brew is mildly acidic, which helps remove tarnish. Just   pour a little beer on a cleaning rag and polish away.
