A little rag soaked in vodka helps remove the annoying icing-up that
occurs on the inside of a car windshield.

But I use lighter fluid to remove the oil-based sticky labels from
books.  Dries up very nice, and no stains.

I don't even think we can even get any 99% iso alcohol here! (Canada).
The highest I've seen is 70%.  I'll have to try it for removing labels!

I have a very wimpy-strength 2% solution in the cupboard.  Very handy
when I need to disinfect a sore or cut.
