Valid question
IMO , if you have low nitrates, and are sustaining corals or inverts that utilise this nutrient, then Vodka dosing would not be ideal as it works against the best interest of the things you are keeping

but if you have an excess of this nutrient beyond the needs of your tanks inhabitants, then some people may use this method as a way of staying within tolerance in a mixed reef tank
not all people who Vodka dose target 0 - some utilise it to bring an elevated level, down to a level of acceptability

in a tank full of SPS with levels of Nitrate or Phosphate that are above the generally accepted target ranges, then IMO, those are the people who may benefit most from Vodka dosing
