Beer lovers may scoff at the notion that their precious elixir should be used for anything other than imbibing. However, if you happen to have a bit past its prime, or a slew of bad brews left by guests of your last party, there's no need to waste it. In fact, it can be quite handy.Gomestic suggests you use the surplus to rid yourself of a few rodents, polish wood furniture, or heal those pesky spots of brown grass. They even suggest cooking with it, though be sure not to cook with a beer that you wouldn't drink on its own. Reader's Digest also weighs in with tips that include using it for shinier hair, creating slug and snail traps and removing coffee and tea stains from rugs.
So next time you're about to chuck the suds into the trash or recycling, stop and see if you can give them second life instead.
