Oh no no- such a waste.   Cheap Vodka is for human internal anti-freeze.
Moreover no rubber parts will be harmed and concern over stinky pink would
be significantly reduced.  In Feb when it is freezing and I am on the boat
scalloping , it would be a real hardship trying to suck the cheap vodka back
out of the plumbing.
