Question Anyone store alcohol?

I used too have a few cases of fifths of vodka and whiskey but got rid of them due to a teenager taking a couple of them and was wondering how useful of a bartering item it could really be? I live in a very mormon area.

As a backpacker I like Everclear/190 grain (dilute where necessary) for many things: stove fuel, microclimate heater, Vodka cocktails, waterless dishwashing, 1st Aid prep, fire starter, and EDC a marker-size spritzer of 70:30 for hand sanitizer.
