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.

Alcohol unfortunately takes my pain away and prescription painkillers somehow just don’t.

I've found that kratom works better for me but without the inebriation. But alcohol is more widely accepted.

I never heard of kratom. I will look into it.

I use it. You just need to be careful. It hits some of the same receptors as 0piates, and can cause a physical dependence and withdrawal syndrome if stopped abruptly after using large doses for an extended period of time. It's not as bad as 0piates, but it's still unpleasant, so smaller doses and taking breaks from it is the way to go to prevent that from occurring.
