Yes of course all vodka doubles as a Molotov Cocktail, as vodka is 95-99% alcohol

OOC: Vodka (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vodka), at least the Russian variety, is only about 40% alcohol by volume on average, 35% at the least, and 65% at the most. It's still flammable, but it isn't "95% to 99% alcohol." For that kind of alcohol content, you go to Louisiana and poke around in the bayous.

OOC: you are incorrect vodka is any alcohol distilled through the Russian method of distillation and can be anywhere from 10% alcohol to 99% alcohol(nearly deadly and mostly made at home and not suggested to drink)

The more than 65% alcohol by volume isn't vodka; it's moonshine. And I don't consider anything more than 65% alcohol by volume to be a drink.
