I've read that the vodka stabilizes the starch mixture. There's a problem with the recipe posted upthread - it doesn't have starch in it. Water, vodka, a perfume, but you also need starch.

Best Press IS starch. It simply has been clarified, lightly scented and colored, and has an added surfactant to make it soak into the fabric faster. So in my opinion, there is no advantage or disadvantage, it's simply another starch product.
