Ice pack. Make your own ice packs

Have your ever found yourself running short on ice packs during baseball, swimming and those picnic times of the year? You can make your own ice packs using a zipper sealed bag filled halfway with water. Adding in two cups of alcohol the mixture won't totally freeze and will be great for those scrapes and bumps where a hard ice pack won't work well.

If you want an ice pack for indoors you can use a hot water bottle instead of the zipper bags.
