Vodka is good for making tinctures (a couple of the ones listed, using herbs, are tinctures) but it's better to use Everclear. Vodka, 3:1 vodka/water ratio, in a spray bottle, works great as a skin coolant. Yes, you smell a bit like alcohol for a few minutes, but when it's 110 and you have to be outside it sure feels good. You can put a few drops peppermint extract in for a longer lasting feeling, too. Not recommended for on-duty use, though.

"Suuurre you were, put your hands behind your back."

Hell, if you use something like citronella oil in it, not only wouldn't you smell like a drink, you'd keep bugs away.

Gee, why not just use rubbing alcohol then? Or that denatured stuff? I wouldn't drink it though.

Rubbing alcohol stinks to hell for a good long while, but evaporates too quickly, and the denatured alcohol is too harsh on the skin and evaporates even faster than that. Even everclear is problematic like that.
