I like the occasional martini but not while sewing or pressing!
If you do a QB search for Best Press you'll see all kinds of discussions on this topic. Good luck with however you decide to use the vodka!!
You might as well use starch. What do you think is left when the alcohol evaporates from the vodka? Sugar.
