Wisdom of Life: Exploring Ways to Utilize Leftover Alcohol.

Sometimes, there comes a moment when we have a precious bottle of wine or a glass of soju left over. It's a shame to waste it, but it might not be enough to drink comfortably. However, worry not. There are various ways to utilize leftover alcohol creatively. Today, let's explore some of those methods.

 

Utilizing Beer

• In Cooking Fish: When cooking fish that has a strong odor, you can use leftover beer. Soak the fish in beer for 5-10 minutes to reduce the smell. Additionally, adding beer to the batter when making fried fish can create a crispy texture.
• Making Soap: Use beer to make your own soap. By mixing oil and beer and boiling them together, then pouring the mixture into molds to mature, you can create anti-aging soap due to the presence of polyphenols.

If you find yourself with leftover alcohol while drinking, try utilizing it in these diverse ways.

 

Utilizing Soju

• Cooking Rice: Use leftover soju to cook rice, which adds flavor and nutrition simultaneously. Adding soju to the rice water makes the rice soft and increases the content of polyphenols, which have antioxidant effects.
• Removing Refrigerator Odors: The alcohol in soju is effective in removing odors. Spray soju with a spray bottle and wipe with a sponge to eliminate odors. Also, soaking a cloth in soju and wiping frying pans helps remove grease easily.

 

Utilizing Wine

• As a Face Mask: Wine is rich in polyphenols, which benefit the skin. Making a face mask using wine can promote cell regeneration and give vitality to the skin. However, individuals with sensitive skin should be cautious.
• Creating New Beverages: Try making a simple sangria by boiling wine with fruits and seasonings. This beverage can be enjoyed by non-drinkers as well, and don't worry, the alcohol evaporates during boiling.

 

If you find yourself with leftover alcohol while drinking, try utilizing it in these diverse ways. Instead of wasting it, you may discover new pleasures. Let's toast to that!
