I don't drink, but I have small bottles of Everclear in storage. 1 pt. bottles I think.

Don't know how long it will last, but it is stored cool, dark and dry. I chose Everclear because it has multiple uses.

It doesn't cost much if you buy the small bottles. I figure if I would ever need to barter, small bottles of alcohol would be good. You wouldn't be giving away a big bottle, a fifth or whatever they're called. And it doesn't tie up that much prepping money overall.

FWIW, I have used alcohol in the past as a cough suppressant. So not technically 'drinking', but it will help suppress a hacking cough for a few hours, long enough to let you get some rest.
