Hmm, not exactly the path I thought this would go down but I guess I did kind of push things this way in a backhanded sort of way. So to add to the list...

It is kind of cold in the midwest lately so we need Baileys for the coffee and rum for the hot chocolate, though peppermint schnapps will do if no rum is available. This is critical survival preps.

Then after the kids go to bed we can turn up the thermostat and enjoy some margaritas (100% blue agave tequila of course) or rum and cokes since keeping morale up is critical in situations like this. My wife is not a fan of whiskey so I usually save that for time with friends who do appreciate it. Makers Mark by preference though I occasionally have had to make do with some of the more comment blends (like Seagrams) in a survival situation like this. One must be prepared to rough it a bit during trying times.
