Plus it will not evaporate like Bleach, Hydrogen peroxide, or Alcohol. Good stuff to have a half dozen bottles of in the pantry. You can also mix with Baking Soda for better cleaning if needed. It is not as good as household cleaners over the counter now, but a far site better than plain water when cleaners are all gone.
Big +1 on this. Vinegar is an extremely useful item to have on hand.

Yep, and it can be used in tinctures as well for medicinal use.

One work around it fruit. Prison and jail inmates use the fruit off their meal trays along with the bread in a trash bag in a dark corner under a bunk. They call this foul concoction 'Buck' and it is potent enough to get them drunk off their asses.
A man cannot call himself peaceful if he is not capable of violence. If he's not capable of violence he isn't peaceful, he is harmless. There is a distinct difference.

Fate whispers to the warrior "You cannot weather this storm". The warrior replies, "I am the storm".

is kinda a work around that is very dependent on time of year and fruit yield. I could see making apple Jack from a cider press, or some types of wine. Possibly Meade if you keep bees.
