pie dough using vodka?

Seems an awful waste of vodka!

Haven't tried it, but are you talking about the Cook's Illustrated version? I don't subscribe, but read it on an airplane.
Googled it, found it posted on the SeriousEats blog:

Let me know what you think!

Edited to add: Tempting to drink and bake at the same time! :drinker:
