Would you think it'd still be a good idea to stock up on alcoholic drinks? I've read a lot of scenarios where alcohol might come in handy for bartering purposes, as a painkiller substitute, and I've even heard some people claim it's a decent substitute for rubbing alcohol.

How likely would a scenario where we go back to bartering for goods, specifically alcohol, rather than using some form of standardized currency be?

If you guys think it's worthwhile investing in alcoholic beverages, what should I invest in? I've got little knowledge of alcohol to begin with, other than generic terms for types of alcohol, like vodka, whiskey, ect. and a few of the big brand name beer and wine manufacturers. What would even be the best way to store them, just let them sit in my basement for 20 years?

Either as a medication [ topical or ingested ] as a way to celebrate a true "moment" in the after SHTF event.

To savor a moment in the calm or an evening with those that ACTUALLY appreciate and understand how and WHEN to use such :thumb:.

Lastly as a trade item ,that will be used in a manner as above !.

1/2 pints of whiskey or bourbon or vodka.

Actually fits in a pocket and hide if that is what you deem better than trade item.
