Want to support your Tennessee Vols off the field? Well, now you can by ... drinking vodka?

That's right!

The Volunteer Club, a name, image and likeness collective for University of Tennessee athletes, announced the launch of the Volunteer Club Vodka, where 25% of proceeds will go to the Volunteer Club to support student athletes, Volunteer Club Director of Digital Marketing Sheridan Gannon told Knox News.

"Volunteer Club Vodka isn't just another spirit; it’s a celebration of the Tennessee legacy," Gannon wrote in a press release. "As supporters enjoy a glass, they also directly contribute to the future success of Tennessee Athletics."

The pot distilled, 100% corn vodka is made by Foundry Distilling Company based in West Des Moines, Iowa. A 750 ml bottle costs between $21.99 and $25.99, according to Gannon. Bottles will be available in liquor stores across Tennessee next week.

Now you can drink to celebrate that big Vols win, or to forget a heartbreaker. Thanks a lot, South Carolina.

The Volunteer Club is based in Knoxville and raises money to support Tennessee student athletes through NIL deals. About 90% of money raised goes toward student athletes, according to the club's press release.

The club is facilitated by sports and media agency Spyre Sports Group.
