History of Vodka

Vodka or BoAka is a diminutive form of the Russian word for water. It was coined in the late 19th century by the famous Russian chemist Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev.

The alcohol used in vodka is traditionally distilled from wheat or rye. Modern vodkas are distilled from potatoes, corn, sugar cane, beet roots, grapes, vegetables, fruits, practically anything that ferment.

Once prized to flavorless and colorless, now the opposite intoxicates the market.

Is it Medicinal?

We’re not doctors, but we googled this: Many Russians ascribe medicinal, almost supernatural qualities to vodka. Parents soak cotton balls in vodka and dab them on children to bring down a fever or ease an earache. Vodka with pepper is prescribed for an adult cold; vodka with salt is for an upset stomach. Some nuclear scientist even drank it protect themselves from radiation poisoning.
