Trap Slugs If you are tired of slugs munching their way through your precious plants, then place some dishes or jars of beer around corners of the garden. Slugs absolutely love it, but once inside your trap, they can't get back out so they will either drown or remain there until you deal with them in the morning. The beer can be re-used until it evaporates.

2. Give Your Hair Some Bounce Beer makes for a great shampoo-conditioner that can add life to tired, matted hair. The vitamins and minerals in beer help infuse strands with helpful nutrients, while the alcohol performs well as a clarifying agent, and the acidic properties add an extra dose of shine. This three pronged attack system will leave your hair shiny and revived (there are actually beer based shampoos on the market). 3. Give Wooden Furniture a Spruce If you have a few half empty beer bottles left over after a party, use the dregs to revive wooden furniture. You should only use flat, leftover beer for this job, and apply it using a microfiber cloth. It will add color and polish to lifeless furniture. 4.Distract Bees and Wasps Anyone who has drank beer outside will know that wasps and bees descend on any abandoned dregs very quickly. Use this to your advantage at a garden party by placing some glasses with small amounts of beer left in them away from your guests to keep the wasps away. You can even use this to trap them, as well as other flying pests like fruit flies and mosquitoes (amber beer is best for the latter). 5.Fertilize Your Garden and Pot Plants Your garden will love the yeasts and sugars that are found in beer, so you can use half finished leftovers to make great fertilizers for your grass, vegetable patches and flower beds. This is a great way to treat brown spots on your lawn or you can use it in plant pots to encourage your indoor plants to grow more quickly.   6. Ease a Minor Tummy Ache This is not crazy (as it might sound) but slowly sipping on a beer can ease minor stomach upsets because the carbonation and sugars can banish tummy rumbles. Of course it should only be used on random upsets, not on ulcers or serious stomach complaints (or by children)! 7.Soak Your Feet This one is best done with freshly opened beer, rather than dregs, but before you look on in horror at this waste of good drinking beer, you should know that there are spas in Europe where you can immerse yourself entirely in beer. We don't recommend you take a beer bath (it's a bit too expensive) but using the beer mixed with some white vinegar can really refresh your feet. The many antioxidants and nutrients are great for your skin! 8.Help Pass Kidney Stones If you have a kidney stone, then many old timers will recommend drinking a beer a day until it passes (you have a fair excuse to drink a bit more than that if you want though). There is evidence that drinking beer in moderation can also help reduce the risk of stones in susceptible people - although binge drinking will have the opposite effect.  9.Clean Your Jewelry Beer is a great means of giving rings, bracelets and other trinkets a quick shine. Just drop the items into a small pot of beer and let them soak, before removing and polishing to bring back some lost sheen.
