I see how these could be true, but why waste the good stuff?
15 Uses For Vodka (source)
1. To remove a bandage painlessly, saturate the bandage with vodka. The solvent dissolves adhesive.
2. To clean the caulking around bathtubs and showers, fill a trigger-spray bottle with vodka, spray the caulking, let set five minutes and wash clean. The alcohol in the vodka kills mold and mildew.
3. To clean your eyeglasses, simply wipe the lenses with a soft, clean cloth dampened with vodka. The alcohol in the vodka cleans the glass and kills germs.
4. Prolong the life of razors by filling a cup with vodka and letting your safety razor blade soak in the alcohol after shaving. The vodka disinfects the blade and prevents rusting.
5. Spray vodka on vomit stains, scrub with a brush, then blot dry.
6. Using a cotton ball, apply vodka to your face as an astringent to cleanse the skin and tighten pores.
7. Add a jigger of vodka to a 12-ounce bottle of shampoo. The alcohol cleanses the scalp, removes toxins from hair, and stimulates the growth of healthy hair.
8. Fill a sixteen-ounce trigger-spray bottle and spray bees or wasps to kill them.
9. Pour one-half cup vodka and one-half cup water in a Ziploc freezer bag and freeze for a slushy, refreshable ice pack for aches, pain or black eyes.
10. Fill a clean, used mayonnaise jar with freshly packed lavender flowers, fill the jar with vodka, seal the lid tightly and set in the sun for three days. Strain liquid through a coffee filter, then apply the tincture to aches and pains.
11. To relieve a fever, use a washcloth to rub vodka on your chest and back as a liniment.
12. To cure foot odor, wash your feet with vodka.
13. Vodka will disinfect and alleviate a jellyfish sting.
14. Pour vodka over an area affected with poison ivy to remove the urushiol oil from your skin.

I saw #12 confirmed on MythBusters. Most of these uses work, I believe, because of the alcohol, not for any other ingredient.
5. What if vodka caused the vomit stain?
They are all silly, and yes, probably because of the alcohol. I would think I would know it was alcohol and either lick my feet or poison ivy rash and get in big trouble…
That’s alcohol abuse man, never waste the good stuff. If you want something that does the same as alcohol but way better, buy some acetone. And seriously, who thought of the bandage remover idea? Who? Have they never poured hard liquor on a cut before? It fucking hurts! So bad! Rip off your hair like a normal person, jeez. (also, acetone hurts way worse than alcohol when poured on open wounds, so don’t try it)
Does #8 just get them to fly while intoxicated, and end up getting them killed?
And in #10, how can you fill the jar with vodka if it’s already full of flowers?
I wonder if rubbing alcohol would kill mold and mildew for less cash.
