Things you can do with Beer

1. Bathe in it
Pour a bottle of beer in the tub and lie back and enjoy.

2. Put out a fire
Works on small grill flare-ups. Simply shake and spritz.

3. Marinate Meat
Beer is slightly acidic and it makes an excellent meat tenderizer.

4. Polish Pots
Since beer is acidic, you can pour some on the pots, let it sit for a while, then wipe it off.

5. Shampoo Hair
Beer is the cure for dull hair as it gives your hair more shin and luster.

6. Loosen Rusty Bolts
Pour some beer on them and wait a few minutes. THe carbonation may help break up the rust.

7. Clear Up Brown Spots In Your Lawn
The fermented sugars in beer stimulate plant growth and kill fungi.

8. Pass A Kidney Stone
Beer is a diuretic and it helps to flush the kidneys and bladder. In other words, it may help you pass a stone quicker and easier.

9. Kill Slugs
For some reasons, slugs love beer. Gather a few empty jars and fill them a third with cheap beer. Then bury them about 15 feet. Make sure the rims are almost level with the soil surface. The slugs will find the traps, drop in and drown.

11. Soothe Tired Feet
Pour a couple of cold ones into a bucket and soak your legs.

12. Trick A Cheap Landlord
Ice up a can of beer in the freezer, then set it atop the lockbox that encloses the thermostat. The cold from the beer will trick the thermostat into thinking the temperature has dropped so it'll turn the heat on.

13. Ice A Hamstring
Frozen or very cold cans of beer make great ice packs.

14. Tame A Wild Hair
A few drops of beer is sticky enough to subdue any sudden uprising on your eyebrow or scalp.

15. Scale Fish
Nail three or four beer caps to a sturdy piece of wood. Keep the caps in a line and make sure the serrated edges are facing out. Attack those fish.
