Why does nobody talk about using a tiny bit of vodka in flower water?

I tried it on a whim for a bouquet of peonies last month and they lasted almost 10 days, which is wild for those divas. Has anyone else tested this or is it just a weird fluke?

Works for real. The sugar feeds them, the vodka kills bacteria. Tablespoon of each per quart of water. Just make sure it's plain vodka, none of the flavored stuff.

Sounds like a science experiment. Is it really that serious, @olivia_barnes97? I just use water.
