People do not give up their habits. Tobacco and Liquor and Ammo are basically gold.
Tobacco as a barter item has a shelf life, so you'll need to be aware of that. Alcohol, however, does not. Among my other preparations, I've always intended to lay in a couple of cases of inexpensive liquor -- vodka or whiskey -- to use as a barter item if TSHTF, just haven't done it yet. Everything else, though, good to go.
If you have the space and storage capacity, this is really the way to go. It's all about prepping for worst case scenarios. Point about baccy is spot on. Ammo element is probably mostly only relevant to the USA or a few other countries.
Get the little shooter bottles of alcohol that most liquor stores sell in wrapped 12 packs. Easy to trade and don't expire.
Actually I was thinking more of a case or two of pint-sized bottles. A real drinker, someone who would be desperate for some alcohol if TSHTF, will NOT be satisfied with a "shooter" but would prefer a pint up to a quart size. But after you run out, they might keep pestering you for more and more. Trust me, I've seen problem drinkers all my life and the old saying is true: One drink is too many, and a thousand is not enough.
