Re: As it's Friday night..... Cheap Vodka
Aren't filters supposed to let water through?
I can't imagine what it would achieve other than spoiling the filter.
What's it supposed to do? I haven't tried it but presumably there's some kind of "benefit"?

Well the accepted wisdom/theory is, that vodka is produced by distilling through charcoal, which is what a brita filter is at its basic level, so in theory is should be like a further rudimentary distillation / filtration.Rowls wrote:Aren't filters supposed to let water through?

Hoping you have a fun night but I'm fearful for your water filter - they're not cheap!

Whilst Turps tastes great and has a high alcohol content it, inevitably, leaves you feeling hollow inside.
