I'm going to take H. Beam Pipers stand, that alcohol will be one of the things we take with us from earth when the exodus happens. That "Cocktails before dinner" will be one of the hallmarks of civilized society.
Various drugs, herbs, and pharmaceuticals will rise and fall depending on location, and whats "in" with current culture. But I don't see Alcohol ever being totally replaced.
Its too easy to make for anyone who wants to take the time to learn how. And can be made from an incredibly wide variety of fruits, grains, starch's.
All it really needs is a truly effective "morning after" pill.
