In pioneer times - 'potent potables' were part of the 'iron rations' kit, but generally used for medicinal purposes. Your point about the barter value is a good one - but, usable calories are going to be more important in the short term. Then again, the psychological boost of knowing it's there might outweigh the pure luxury stigma. Tough call, if you have to didi the AO, ETOH would be one of the last things I'd take, unless it was to run a stove.
