What Is Vodka?
LoGerfo defines vodka as a clear distilled alcoholic beverage primarily composed of water and ethanol.
Its usually made from grains or potatoes and most vodkas are about 40 percent alcohol (80 proof).
As such, in exploring its benefits, well focus primarily on ethanol as the active ingredient of vodka.
Ethanol also helps to decrease the viscosity of products, so theyre easier to spread and therefore penetrate.
