Jack Daniels and variations on that theme have merit for larger E-kits...if for no other reason than barter. Consider those little bottles you used to get on airplanes...you can get quite a variety ...they aren't expensive...pack small and are pretty cheap if you don't raid them from the hotel mini-bar. I've got maybe 10 or 12 of various kinds...mostly to try a new type without buying the bigger more expnsive bottles.
But then I don't drink much booze...so a small inventory could be a nice treat a week into a disaster scenario.
And by the time the news comes around to interview the survivors I think it would be cool to show someone that survived with the luxuries intact rather than just those that nearly died from living without electricity for 3 days.
